I am a highly trained Counsellor (MSc Counselling Psych.), Teacher & Mindfulness Coach. I have had additional robust training in delivering therapy online and via the phone and I am always updating my therapeutic skills through continued professional development. I have a wealth of experience working with people in varying capacities: counselling, coaching, teaching & lecturing. As a Counsellor, I have experience in private practice, online and in the third sector (LGBTQ charity, a mental health charity and service dedicated to front-line workers during the pandemic).  I have experience working with clients who are experiencing: stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, life-transitions, suicidal ideation, complex trauma, dissociation, anger, humiliation, shame & life challenges that are specifically pertinent to the LGBTQ community.  

Mindfulness training:  I have had teacher trainings in Mindfulness-Based Courses with the Centre for Mindfulness at the University of Bangor MBCT (Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy) and the .B Mindfulness in Schools Project. I attend regular, silent group/personal retreats & have a daily mindfulness practice.
