I began my journey as a counsellor some 18 years ago when I personally suffered my own personal traumatic experience and faced life-changing consequences, This led me to begin training in this field of understanding which I had no real knowledge of taking on an introductory level course in both Person-Centred counselling and an Introduction to Integrative Counselling Theories. This grew to my achieving My diploma level award in Counselling giving me the ability to practice as a counsellor.

Whilst building my practice I continued to learn and was awarded a first class degree with honours in Counselling and Psychotherapy at Salford University. I have continued my learning throughout taking on Personal Development courses throughout my time building my practice and one of my favourite was my gaining IEMT Practitioner and Advanced IEMT Practitioner certificates in 2024, These have helped significantly in my work to help trauma sufferers and also clients with deep-seated phobias.

I have also this year, 2026, gained my Supervisors Certificate from the Manchester Institute of Psychotherapy which allows me to grow my practice and supervise student counsellors and qualified counsellors alike. I continue to enjoy the learning I get from everything I do in my counselling/supervisory service journey.
