Working as a counsellor in private practice is my passion and I feel so proud and lucky to call this my job. I absolutely love working so closely with people and being able to help and work with them in some of the toughest moments in their life.
The majority of my experience has been in suicide prevention. Working in this field has helped me feel equipped to work with confidence with this issue that has such a taboo in the wider world. I am able to work with suicide and suicidal ideation with an approach that makes talking about it more normalised and non clinical.
Suicidal thoughts are so complex, there are many life factors that can contribute. This means that my experience also includes working with abuse, financial hardship, loss, grief, bullying, family issues, work stresses, generalised depression, anxiety, pregnancy, abortion, abandonment, loneliness and sexuality.
 

My qualifications include:

• Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Counselling *BACP accredited course from the University of Chester

• Level 2 Counselling Skills Certificate

• BA (hons) English Language from Edge Hill

I am fully insured and hold a DBS.
