About
Compassionate and dedicated Level 4 Qualified Therapeutic Counsellor and BACP Member, currently providing weekly counselling sessions in private practice for general mental health issues and experience in supporting clients within a drug and alcohol rehabilitation service. I offer a warm, non-judgemental and ethical therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, valued and supported. My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed and grounded in the BACP Ethical Framework.
Alongside my counselling work, I continue to support children and families through my role as a registered childminder, giving me extensive experience of child development, safeguarding and family dynamics. I hold an Enhanced DBS Certificate, Professional Indemnity Insurance, and am committed to continual professional development to provide safe, inclusive and evidence-informed practice. I am seeking counselling opportunities supporting children, young people and adults within education, community, charity or healthcare settings.
