I undertook extensive training as a Psychotherapist and Counsellor. I currently hold three counselling diplomas.

These are:
UKCP registered and a member of the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling, which is my professional accrediting organisation.
WPF psychodynamic agency diploma.
WPF psychodynamic advanced diploma.
CSCT Integrative Counselling Advanced.

As a requirement of my training I have also undertaken intensive psychoanalytic analysis over many years. I have had rigorous supervision of my clinical work throughout.

Alongside my private practice I also worked for Southside, a charity based in Bath. In the past I have worked for Wessex Counselling Service, a charity based in Frome, for 8 years.

Through my work with these charities I have been involved in teaching, training, mentoring and setting up a clinical library.

I am also a qualified ante natal teacher for the National Childbirth Trust, and a qualified nurse.
