About Me
I am an accredited cognitive behavioural psychotherapist (BABCP) with a lengthy and diverse background in Health & Education Services. My background qualifications include a Masters Qualification in Counselling Studies, Registered General Nurse, Registered Sick Children’s Nurse and Registered Health Visitor. In addition I hold a Degree and Diploma in Nursing and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. I am also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
I am continually updating my professional development and aim to widen my knowledge base as is appropriate on a yearly basis. My preferred counselling approach is cognitive behavioural creating an empathic environment in which the client may utilise his/her own problems solving approaches and strategies and learn to understand dysfunctional thinking and behaviours.
Having undertaken training at Masters Level I am able to offer supervision not only to therapists working towards BABCP accreditation but also student person centred training and person centred counsellors. Please contact me and ask about my supervision rates.
