I am qualified in therapeutic counselling and have been a practising therapist for seventeen years. The majority of my work has been carried out in the United Kingdom within the National Health Service and various independant organisations, prior to moving to the Isle of Man.
I have experience in several models of counselling and therapy including 'bereavement' 'terminal illness' and 'relationship issues'. I use a combination of humanistic and psychodynamic approaches within my therapeutic relationship with clients. And hope to work with our relationship in the present as this often helps us to understand both past and present difficulties when relating to others. I draw on other skills learnt during my ongoing training as a counsellor and therefore offer a wide base of knowledge and experience. I have practised within my chosen vocation since 1993.
I am a fully accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and strictly follow their code of ethics suggested for the practice of counselling. I receive regular supervision from an experienced and practising supervisor. I also hold my own indemnity certificate for my counselling service.
Areas of Specialism
I am fully qualified to teach in the area of 'Basic counselling and communication skills' 'Advanced counselling and communication skills' and hold regular training courses within these areas.
