Experience
I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and also belong to the HACP (Hampshire Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). Further training each year is mandatory, in order to maintain these professional registrations. All members have undertaken recognised and rigorous training, work to a strict code of practice and ethics and are fully insured to practice.
As well as seeing clients privately, I work with two local organisations – The Princess Royal Trust for Carers in Hampshire and The Bereavement Counselling Charity. I hold current enhanced disclosure and barring service (DBS) certificates for both of these organisations.
Previously, I worked with the tenant's counselling service provided by Radian (a social housing provider). This work was often with young people from disruptive backgrounds, establishing themselves in their first homes and jobs.
My first career was as a clinical physiologist, specialising in cardiology. I re-trained as a counsellor after raising my family.
I am also a qualified reflexologist and passionate about holistic practice and the mind-body connection.
I have a diploma in reflexology with anatomy and physiology and am a member of the Association of Reflexologists (AoR) and also registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).
