About Me

My professional background is in midwifery and more recently end of life care with the NHS. I also deliver communication skills training and have worked at the hospice as a bereavement counsellor.

My interest in counselling began many years ago as I struggled to understand difficulties in my own life. This interest lead me to discover the work of Carl Rogers, the originator of Person Centered counselling.

Rogers believed that, in the main, humans are always striving towards positivity and self improvement, to understand themselves better, and generally movetowards their maximum potential.

The longer I have practiced as a counsellor the more convinced I have become in the benefits counselling can provide.

My background and experience means I have a particular depth of knowledge relating to fertility and infertility difficulties, childbirth trauma, miscarriage, pregnancy loss and bereavement.

As a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy I work within their boundaries of their ethical framework for good practice.
