In 2005 I received a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling from Goucestershire Counselling Service, Stroud, Gloucestershire having completed that training with almost 400 clinical hours.

In April 2009 I received a Diploma in Counselling Children and Adolescents, from the Iron Mill Institute, Exeter, Devon.

I have completed a variety of courses relating to work with couples and relationship issues.

I am a member of the British Assocation for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and work within their Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

For over 10 years I practised as a Homeopath in the West Midlands, treating both children, teens, and adults.  That work gave me huge insight into the relationship between emotion and illness.
