I first qualified as a counsellor in 1994 and worked briefly in primary care. In the following ten years I ran and trained others to run parenting groups both privately and in the community. I worked for both Parent Network and Parentline Plus.
I completed additional training with Re.Vision Centre for Integrative Psychosynthesis as a counsellor graduating in 2005 and then completed the Re.Vision diploma in Psychotherapy in 2008.
I am a registered psychotherapist through Re.Vision with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I adhere to the ethical frameworks of BACP/UKCP and Re.Vision. I have regular supervision. I continue to develop professionally and have followed an interest in mindfulness and ecopsychology. I have been trained on British Association for Sexual and Relationship Therapy approved courses to work with couples.
I am inspired and informed by an active ongoing interest in the work of Jungian Analyst Marion Woodman who integrates mind, body awareness and the sacredness of soul.
