About me and my practice

I began training in 2008 and set up my own counselling service in 2010. From 2021, I became a CTAA (Complimentary Therapists Accredited Association) Accredited Strategic Life Coach and TFT/EFT (Thought Field Therapy/Emotional Freedom Technique) and hypnotherapy practitioner and in early 2022, I trained in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) which I primarily use in my work, since I find it incredibly neurodiversity affirming.

My mission is to empower and inspire women to reconnect with themselves by tapping into their inner resources. This will enable them to move forward from the past and live more authentically, creating the life and future that they have dreamt of.

Experience

2010 I became the first student at the University of Worcester to set up a counselling service as their placement. The free service was based in a deprived area and nominated for a BACP award (Improving Access to Therapy) in its first year. The service continued to run for ten years, in partnership with the University of Worcester and the University of South Wales.

Additional Information

I am currently training as a Menstrual Cycle Practitioner, Menopause Wellness Coach, and will be taking a Menopause Awareness Diploma shortly after. Women's health is important to me as it is so often overlooked and because PMDD disproportionately affects people with ADHD and autism, with up to 92% of autistic women and 46% of women with ADHD experiencing PMDD, though estimates vary. (Additude Magazine, 2023).
