I am a professionally qualified and experienced therapist working with a wide range of issues with individuals and couples at my practices in Warton and Lancaster.
I have worked with a local charitable organisation, Path Counselling in Trafford and MIND, a national charitable organisation and at two prisons offering both counselling and Mental Health Assessments. I also currently work as an Affiliate to with a public sector organisation and on behalf of a national Employer Assistance Programmes (EAP) as I believe that support should be available when needed and I am fully aware of the demands on the NHS and charitable organisations with long waiting lists and not everyone being able to afford private therapy.
I am also a trained Family Mediator although no longer practicising in this field.
Over time I have added additional services to what I am able to offer private clients which now includes single session therapy and ongoing therapeutic coaching.
I trained in Person-Centred Approach (PCA) at the University of Salford and am qualified to Level 7, holding a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have also trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis (TA), Focus Oriented Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, CAMS – Clinical Assessment and Management of Suicidality, Trauma Focused Therapy and Couples Counselling and am committed to Continuing Professional Development (CPD), regularly attending additional courses covering a wide range of issues and approaches.
Being a registered Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), and National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), I adhere to their code of ethical practice and undertake regular Supervision to ensure I am working in the best way possible with you, hold Professional Indemnity Insurance, am registered with the ICO and comply with General Data Protection Regulations. Having trained as a Family Mediator, I am a non-practicising member of the Family Mediators Association.
I have experienced being in ‘the other chair’ and hope that together we can bring the positive benefits of therapy into your life too. I love what I do and am committed to sharing your journey and helping you to reduce your distress and achieve a more fulfilling life.
I work pluralistically drawing from different therapeutic approaches to best suit your needs, endeavour to make theory meaningful to you to help you gain greater insight and will challenge you appropriately to help you reach your goals.
