My background
Before training as a counsellor I enjoyed a fulfilling career in Human Resources. After taking voluntary redundancy in 2003 I set about achieving a long held ambition to train as a counsellor.
I obtained a Certificate in Counselling Skills at WPF, Kensington, London in 2003 before training for a further two years and qualifying as an Emotional Therapist with the Foundation for Emotional Therapy (Registered Charity No 1022341).
I am bound by the Foundation’s Code of Conduct and Ethics and I am an accredited member of the Counselling Society. I receive regular supervision in order to maintain a high level of competence. I also pursue further specialist training as part of my continuing professional development.
My philosophy
I believe that one of the fundamental qualities that counselling must offer is a respectful and confidential environment. As a counsellor I will work with you in a non-judgmental way, respecting your autonomy, your values and your culture. This will form the basis of a process that will lead to greater insight, awareness and clarity into your situation.
