I started my training as a counsellor with Relate back in 1993.
I completed my counselling certificates at Wirral Met College.
Basic counselling skills 1998, Level 1 Counselling Course 1999, Level 2 Counselling Skills 2000, Diploma in Counselling 2002 (completed one year).
Transactional Analysis (T.A. 101) Liverpool, Rodney Street.
I graduated from Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy in 2004, and have a Diploma in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy.
Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy 2010, (Richard Erskine Phd.)
I have a Level 5 Diploma in CBT skills & theory (QCF), from CPCAB.
I am registered MBACP with BACP Number 378917.
I am a member of ESTD ( European Society of Trauma & Dissociation).
I have been working privately on the Wirral as a counsellor since 2003. In my time as a counsellor I have always had private clients, but I have worked with the NHS for Wirral & Cheshire, as well
as Insurance companies and Corporations that have needed my services for their staff.
I have been trained in several approaches, Person Centred, TA, CBT, Mindfulness, Gestalt, Body Psychotherapy, Redecision therapy, Integrative Psychotherapy, & Relational Psychotherapy. I’ve been
very lucky to have been trained with internationally recognised psychotherapists/psychologists, such as Richard Erskine (Phd.), Vann Jionnes, Claude Steiner, Ian Stewart, Dr. Alison Miller
& Dr. Chris Willard.
Psychotherapy and counselling has developed a lot during the last ten years and I feel it’s important to keep on top of developments. I do this by continuing my own development. I feel it’s very
important that you go with what works for the client, not one therapy fits all.
