I have worked as a psychotherapist and counsellor in universities and mental health agencies in England and Wales over a 12 year period.
I opened my private practice in 2009, and currently work full-time as an independent psychotherapist and clinical supervisor. Alongside my practice I am an associate tutor on the Counselling & Psychotherapy programme at the University of Warwick.
I have over 20 years experience in training and development for industry and business, having worked widely with private and public sector employees and organisations.
I am a Senior Accredited psychotherapist of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), and registered with the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). My practice is monitored by a fully qualified clinical supervisor.
As a member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy I accept the BACP's Ethical Framework for good practice. In the case of any complaint I would be subject to their disciplinary procedures.
Registered with the ICO (data protection & control), I also hold a DBS Certificate (previously the Enhanced Criminal Records Bureau - CRB).
