I am a qualified person centred counsellor and psychotherapist and a member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherpay). I hold a Bsc Hons degree in Psychology, a masters in Human Resouces Management and a certificate in couples and psychosexual therapy (CORST accredited).
I also hold a current enhanced disclosure criminal records bureau certificate (DBS certificate). Prior to training as a counsellor, I have worked in both education and Human Resources.
In my private practice in Shrewsbury, I work with adults, young people (secondary and primary school aged) and couples across a diverse range of issues that arise in counselling.
My areas of interest/specialism are bereavement, couples, young people and domestic abuse. Where appropriate, I also use elements of mindfulness to help with anxiety and low mood. Additionally, I have experience of working in a hospice, where I provided counselling to bereaved families and friends and more recently I worked with the INFO shop and the TRAC team counselling young people from both primary and secondary schools.
I provide a safe, confidential, non judgemental and friendly space for couples and individuals to explore and deal with recent and long standing personal issues.
