Background & Psychotherapy Qualifications

My experience includes working with adults with variety of issues and difficulties such as depression, anxiety, low self esteem, loss of confidence, expressing and managing feelings, stress, and adapting to change. I am also experienced in supporting people with bereavement and loss; supporting carers and counselling parents who are caring for children with chronic health difficulties.
I have a particular interest in "Attachment Theory" which helps us understand ourselves, and our behaviours and experiences in relationships. I work to help my client gain self awareness, acceptance and to build self compassion.
I also work with counselling and psychotherapy under graduates and trainees as part of their professional development.
In addition to my Counselling and Psychotherapy experience, I have a back ground of cancer and palliative care nursing.
