I am qualified and experienced Counsellor and Supervisor and a Senior Accredited and Registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy. I initially started working as a counsellor in GP Surgeries in Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire and in Independent Practice. I also worked as a counsellor at the University of Cambridge Counselling Service for over 10 years, providing counselling to undergraduate and post-graduate students.
After an earlier career in Recruitment Management, I worked for the Richmond Fellowship, a mental health charity, providing employment support and advice to adults returning to the workplace following a period of depression, anxiety, stress or other mental health challenges. I understand how daunting it can feel to return to work, or consider career and work-life changes at any stage in life, and this remains an area that I am passionate about.
As a Senior Accredited member of BACP, I am required to undertake a minimum of 30 hours Continuing Professional Development each year. My recent CPD includes additional training in online therapy (OCTS), Working Effectively with Risk (Cambridge Supervision Training) and Working with Race in Higher Education Counselling (Birkbeck University).
