About me

I am a BACP Senior Accredited and Registered Counsellor providing short and longer term therapy.

I have 20+ years' experience, 19 of those in private practice, and have training and experience of working with a variety of issues.

During this time I have also worked within the NHS, alongside 7 Employment Assistance Programmes (EAP) and with charities and voluntary organisations (see below).

Experience

NHS - Winshill Medical Centre - Burton - (8 years general practice counselling) and also East Staffs PCT (2 years therapeutic smoking cessation).

EAP associate (16 years) - workplace counselling for clients such as British Rail, Councils, NHS, Police & British Transport Police, Prison Service, Royal Mail, Probation service, Banking etc.

Plus:

-Phoenix Counselling - B'twood/Lich (Oct 2018+)
-Anxiety UK (7 yrs)
-Pathway Domestic Abuse - Lichfield (2 yrs)
-Prison Bereavement Care - Staffordshire (2 yrs)
-Cornerstone Homeless Charity - Lichfield (1 yr)

-Alcohol/Drug Services Staffs - (2001 2 yrs)

I offer a professional, warm and down to earth approach which I hope allows my clients to open up, be honest and move forward with their lives. I believe no two people, or their experiences, are alike so I use a variety of strategies and ideas to match the person I'm trying to help.
