I am an Accredited (BACP) senior counsellor

I am an Accredited (BACP) senior counsellor working in a Liverpool University.
I have worked in both a charitable organisation that has BACP accreditation status, and work privately. I have over eleven years counselling experience. In this time I have worked with clients with a wide range of issues such as, severe anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, childhood sexual, physical, and mental abuse, rape and sexual assault, work related stress, post natal depression, bereavement and traumatic bereavement, and a number of personality disorders.

I am a fully qualified and flexible counsellor who works on both a short and long term basis with clients according to preference and need. I offer counselling which is confidential, creative and non-judgemental.

I have used Person Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with all of my clients, with effective and measured results. I find Person centred therapy and CBT a natural way to work with my counselling style.

I am also a Master Practitioner in Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

I am a warm and empathic counsellor and person. I consider myself to be non judgemental and ethical in my practice. I do love my work, and respect and admire all the people I have worked with. I have an understanding of just how difficult it is to make the first appointment and go through counselling therapy.

I have four children, a beautiful little grandson and granddaughter . My interests are psychology, philosophy, singing and walking my gorgeous German Shepherd dog.

I have taught Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), I devised and deliver lesson plans to a basic, intermediate and advanced diploma level.

I have gained a Diploma is casework supervision which I very much enjoy. I have a number of private supervisees, both trainee counsellors and qualified counsellors.

I worked in the NHS Sexual Assault Referral Clinic (SARC), and provide psychological support for male and female adult and child victims of sexual assault and rape, before, whilst and after the patient attends for a forensic examination.

I have applied for (BACP) accreditation.

I worked as the co-ordinator of a childrens project, helping children and young people who have suffered loss though bereavement or divorce.

If you searching for a suitable person to talk to regarding something in your life that is not quite the way you would like it to be at the moment? Something may have happened recently, or it might have been building for a while. If so, therapy can be of help.

Therapy may be able to offer insight into these and other concerns in a genuine, accepting and non-judgmental environment. Or it may be that it could be useful to talk about your situation with a trained professional who is not a friend, colleague or family member.
