My background is in nursing, and pastoral care. I then chose to retrain as a counsellor. My real passion is supporting people of all ages with time to hear each person’s story.

I am a qualified counsellor and a student psychotherapist studying at Metanoia Institute in London.

Counselling and Psychotherapy offer a confidential space where I will accept you for who you are. Through the therapeutic relationship, as we work together we can gain awareness of what contributes to your situation. This new awareness allows you to see choices open to you, I offer support as we work towards your goals.

Training, qualifications & experience: 

My qualifications include:  

• Foundation degree in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling (core models - Person Centred, and Psychodynamic). I also draw from Creative therapy, Psycho-education, Neuroscience and work in a trauma responsive way.

• Contemporary Trauma Practice course - Relational Change.

• Counselling Children and Young People Advanced Specialist Training Course (NCS)

• BA (Hons) in counselling.

• Currently in my fourth year (MSc Yr 2) in Gestalt at Metanoia Institute in London.

• Working for the CAPE project in Ealing.

A little more about me. 

In addition to my private practice: 

• I worked as volunteer counsellor and assessor with The Well Counselling Service in Malvern, where I gained experience in working with bereavement, trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, dissociation and attachment issues.

• I have also worked as a counsellor for a Gloucestershire charity offering counselling to young people aged 9 - 21 years. 

I am also a wife, and mother to both adult and younger children. Parenting has given me a variety of experience…. joys, pains, and celebrations! I enjoy creativity and new possibilities, fresh air and bird song. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes, 

Anna.
