My upbringing straddled different cultures and different world views. In my work I have come across so many family cultures, ethnic cultures, different experiences and points of views. Our experiences shape us, they can inform us and sometimes they can cage us. I believe we
can shape our experiences too to some extent.
I began my training in 2007 as a psychotherapist and counsellor, and qualified in 2010 working for my local NHS service, MIND counselling service, and later Marches Counselling Service. I work with people 18+ in private practice, in the NHS and through a charity. I also work as a supervisor of other counsellors and psychotherapists, privately and in charities and the in NHS.
In 2017 I began teaching counselling and psychotherapy at Diploma, Masters and Doctorate level with Listening Post, University of South Wales and BCPC. I have been training manager for a number of different organisations and worked with BACP accredited course division and UKCP colleges to provide quality modern training. I believe in helping to shape the next generation of psychotherapists and counsellors.
I am aware how hard the first step of contacting me might be. I do not charge for the initial conversation as I believe it is so important that you find the right person for you.
