I have a BSc (Hons) in Psychology (1985), a Certificate in Counselling and Psychotherapy (1994) and an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy (1999). It’s vital that psychotherapists keep abreast of developments in the therapy and counselling world, and I keep my skills and knowledge up-to-date by attending lectures and training courses at reputable institutions several times a year. I first began counselling clients in 1992.

Professional membership

I’m registered as a psychotherapist with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). (The UKCP and BACP are the two main organisations in the UK that register counsellors and psychotherapists.) I abide by these organisations’ Codes of Ethics and Practice.
