I am an experienced counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I work within their Ethical Framework for Good Practice at all times.

​

I have also undertaken additional training in Mental Health, Couples and Relationship Counselling, self-harm, Menopause and bereavement & loss. I regularly attend courses and workshops to ensure my skills and knowledge remain up to date.

​

My experience is varied and includes working for a charity offering counselling as part of their services and counselling11-18 year olds, in a High School setting.

I have spent a number of years supporting staff from an educational background with personal and work related issues.

 

I run my own Private Practice where I provide counselling for clients struggling with distressing situations often resulting from difficult life events, relationships and circumstances. I work online (telephone/video & face to face in Leeds 26 & Leeds 7)

 

​

My background prior to counselling is varied but much of this time was spent communicating and supporting others. The skills and knowledge I  have acquired in supporting others, have been of huge benefit in my counselling practice.
