Training, Qualifications and Experience

I qualified as a counsellor at Basingstoke College of Technology and have completed a Master’s program in Counselling and Psychotherapy (with Distinction) at Bath Spa University. I am a member of the BACP and PNCPS (Acc.), and I abide by their code of conduct for ethical practice. 
Since the beginning of 2021 l have worked with bereavement along with many other mental health issues including low self-esteem, feelings of guilt, shame, anxiety, suicide, eating disorders and trauma. I am also an EMDR therapist.
I have completed training with the Youth Justice Team where I work with adolescents.
Outside of this profession l have worked for many years as an accountant, and l have served my community most recently through volunteer work for the NHS Patient Transport Service and as a Vaccine Marshall.
For some thirty years now, l have actively been involved in running various local football clubs in roles that include both Chair and Welfare Officer: this has given me a wealth of experience of working with children and young adults.
