About me

Welcome.

I have always known I wanted to work in the counselling field from a young age but wanted to get more life experience before I did. Fast forward to 2018 where my training began...

I first started with an 'Introduction to Counselling', this led me on a rewarding journey. I knew this was my calling. 

I went on to study a 'Certificate in Counselling', this opened my eyes to the dedication that was needed in this role and made me look inward at myself.

After my Certificate I went straight on to study the 'Advanced Professional Diploma in Counselling Theory and Therapeutic Practice.' this course meant I got to experience my own counselling journey, it also enabled me to volunteer in local low cost counselling services. 

After qualifying I got further training and did a 'Certificate in Couple and Relationship Counselling' so I could comfortably work with Couples. 

I continue to update my skills and participate in regular and varied training.

In 2023 I did my Accreditation and became an Accredited member of the 'British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy' (BACP).

 

Over my working life I have volunteered my time at The Quiet Mind Centre in Exmouth and Parental Minds in Honiton.

I worked with 'Surviving Abuse' a charity in North Devon, providing counselling to victims of sexual abuse and their family members from 2021-2024. https://www.survivingabuse.org.uk/

I am currently a counsellor for some Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP) and Insurance companies. (Please see EAP & Insurance tab)

The rest of my time is spent in Private Practice, I thrive on the variety of clients that come my way.
