About Me
I am a fully qualified Counsellor and Registered Member of the BACP on their Accredited Register. I have been practising for 12 years and have accrued in excess of 3500 client hours to date.
I comply fully with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and hold a current ICO (Information Commisioner’s Office) Certificate. I also hold a current Enhanced DBS ( Disclosure and Barring Service) Certificate which enables me to work with Vulnerable Adults and Young People.
I undertake ongoing CPD (Continuing Professional Development) which helps me to improve my knowledge and to maintain the latest theory and practices.
I am fully insured and receive regular ongoing supervision.
Background and Experience
Prior to counselling I spent many years working as a volunteer providing emotional support for parents in the community.
My background includes Counselling for Women’s Aid, CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service), Action For Children and Flying Start.
My work at Flying Start spans 7 years, where I was responsible as a sole independent practitioner, for the establishment and operation of a counselling service to support disadvantaged families. This service provides early intervention and support aiming to reduce the need for more specialist intervention from Adult Mental Health Services.
I also run a private practice which has been online via phone/WhatsApp video call during the Pandemic. I am now able to offer Counselling both online and in person from private rooms based in Warrington, Cheshire.
