I began training as a Counsellor in 2020 at the age of 42 years old. I have not looked back since, and I have rediscovered my passion for learning. I will continue my learning with a level 3 teaching assistant qualification which I begin in September. I am a link Governor for PSHE in a primary school which I enjoy being apart of. I am passionate about children learning social and emotional development to promote positive future outcomes.  I am a mother of four having had my younger two  children later in life. I enjoy spending my days off with my family, my cats, and my dogs. I practice Mindfulness in my personal time which I have found to enhance my awareness of my body and helps me to gain more insight into who I am as a person. I am also a Mindfulness Practitioner.

 My main areas of interest in Counselling include working with Attachment, Trauma, and Psychiatric diagnosis. How the human brain develops in infancy, to how psychological trauma can impact the brain and how it processes everyday life which can influence  a person's decision-making, and behaviour. How living with a Psychiatric disorder can sometimes leave a person feeling different, leading to isolation and difficulties in social settings, and navigating life as a whole. Although I am not limited to working specifically in these area's.

  I am also available to offer sessions to anyone who feels counselling would help them, working collaboratively with a client, and watching them gain new skills is a special experience I feel honoured to be apart of. Every client is equally important to me, and I work hard with every client to achieve success for them.
