I have also undertaken further  short courses and training in working with relationship and couples issues,  Internal Family Systems, attachment, , Mindfulness based stress reduction, trauma,  dissociation and CBT. I am committed to my continuing professional development and attend training events and conferences relevant  to my areas of work and interest.

I am able to use different approaches within my work, depending on your needs. I have worked with many different people experiencing different life challenges; I treat each person I work with as an individual and my aim is to work together with you to enable you to  gain insight, work through difficulties and ultimately move forward with your life.

While I have 14  years experience of working with individuals experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including relationship problems, I am now also in the early stages of training to be a relationship (couples) therapist, alongside my individual work.
