Counselling, Psychotherapy and Supervision in Marsden, near Huddersfield and Oldham
I have been an accredited member of the United Kingdom for Counselling and Psychotherapy (UKCP) since 2005 and I abide by their code of ethics. I am required to re-register annually and undergo a re-accreditation process every 5 years to ensure I remain 'fit to practice'. In doing so I must demonstrate that I have ongoing clinical supervision, continuing professional development and a commitment to self-care.
My driving force in this work continues to be supporting others in realising their potential for living freer, richer and more meaningful lives. I believe our soul knows we are designed for a bigger, more sensuous and more imaginative life.
I have worked as a counsellor and psychotherapist for 30 years, as a supervisor for the past 20 years and as a couples therapist for 25 years. I am one of the few Certified Imago Relationship Therapists in the north of England. I also work as a clinical supervisor. I have supervised staff in a voluntary organisation that works with young people with drug and alcohol issues for 10 years. I have been in private practice since 2005. I also worked as a counselling trainer in both Further and Higher Education for approximately 10 years. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist I worked as a Quantity Surveyor in the construction industry in Northern Ireland but eventually moved to the UK mainland to train in counselling and psychotherapy having experienced the benefits of counselling for myself.
