Who I am
I’m a parent, a carer, a friend, a neighbour, a member of my community.
I became a counsellor wanting to help others help themselves.
My aim is to empower you, to build your confidence; helping you to recognise your skills and abilities, allowing you to set your own goals and reach for your dreams.
I’ve achieved an HE Certificate in Psychodynamic Counselling in Leicester. I followed this up with a BSc (Hons) in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at the Sherwood Institute (Nottingham).
I regularly attend CPD (Continuing Professional Development) workshops, meaning I continue to grow my skills and knowledge. I’m now working towards completing the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) accreditation process and always work within their Ethical Framework, using their ethical guidelines and procedures.
Over the years, I’ve worked with a number of charities including:
- New Dawn New Day – a women’s project in Leicester
- The Bower House – a Christian counselling service in Market Harborough
- Coping with Cancer – a group working to support cancer sufferers and their families
- Cruse Bereavement Care – a national organisation supporting those who have been bereaved
