Mind.

The counselling model I use is mainly person-centred, but I also draw from others such as CBT, psychodynamic and transactional analysis if I see that it may help.

My personal philosophy is to explore issues deeply, as this can help to stop the unwanted issues from recurring and having a negative impact on the way we think.

I am also passionate about helping women cope better through difficult life transitions and wanted to be part of the holistic community helping to support women, and build knowledge and understanding about the difficulties experienced in menopause, having done a diploma on menopause coaching.

I have a qualification in Pet Bereavement Counselling. enabling me to specialise in this field, helping pet owners cope through their grief.

I have completed bullying awareness training, enabling me to help those who have been, or are currently being affected by bullying, in whatever setting it may take place.

I regularly complete training courses for personal and professional development, and to gain new insight and keep up to date with research in different issues, which helps hugely with my client work.
