I trained as a counsellor later in life, after benefitting from counselling myself. My professional background was in secondary school teaching and then as a solicitor in a large city firm. I have completed four years clinical training in integrative psychotherapy and hold a Diploma in Counselling. (Transactional Analysis) I also hold a Certificate in Counselling Skills. (Person Centred). I am also mum to three children, now young adults. I bring considerable life experience to my work, which I believe to be just as valuable as any qualifications I may have obtained. I believe in the intrinsic worth of every human being and my passion is to help people heal and flourish.  I am warm and empathetic, and will provide a calm space for you to explore what is troubling you, without judgement. I look forward to meeting you.
