About Me
I have experienced numerous losses in my life and know first-hand how important it is to receive the right support at the right time so that you don’t remain in ‘the abyss’ and can start to embrace life again.
I trained as a psychotherapist and counsellor at the School of Psychotherapy & Counselling, Regent’s University (London) over 20 years ago and became an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) in 2006. This means that I have undergone rigorous checks by a professional body, so you can be assured that you are in safe hands.
I have had a private practice over many years and have also worked in a variety of settings including the NHS, hospices and palliative care services, and the charity sector. I have led specialist services for the bereaved, people living with life limiting illnesses and their families, those struggling or unable to conceive, the survivors of domestic abuse, and LGBTQIA+ communities.
I have been a keynote speaker at a number of local and national conferences on the topic of loss and trauma, including a presentation for the BACP on ‘Working effectively with traumatic grief’.
I know how traumatic loss and grief can be and have had specialist training in trauma with some of the world’s leading experts in the field. I also offer Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) as an additional way to help you achieve your goals.
