After many years working in education, and the civil service, life events such as the birth of my child and the introduction of hybrid working allowed me to change my career path and focus on my goal of becoming a therapist, this is when I first embarked on my COSCA certificate in Counselling Skills.
My personal and professional experience is varied and includes working in school settings and further education as a special educational needs teacher and university lecturer. Latterly, I have had the privilege of working for two charitable organisations where I have worked with clients with many different presenting problems ranging from anxiety and low mood to addictions, trauma and suicidality.
I have also developed experience working with young people in further education, supporting them with their wellbeing and the many challenges that they may be facing.
As a former teacher, and wellbeing advocate I am passionate about education and have led workshops regarding wellbeing strategies and Mindfulness.
After the COSCA certificate, I went on to study a post-graduate diploma in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy and have completed many client hours focussing on addictions, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, limiting beliefs and trauma. I have also obtained a Behaviour Change certificate from SAAC.
