About Me
I am a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) Accredited Counsellor and as an individual member of BACP I am bound by its Ethical Framework for Good Practice for the Counselling Professions (2018) and subject to the Professional Conduct Procedure.
To comply with the UK GDPR I am registered with the ICO as a data controller so that all your information is safe.
I trained at University of Brighton, qualifying in 2002 with a Postgraduate Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling. After a further year of study, I also attained an MA in Counselling Studies from Brighton. Following my counselling training, I studied for a PGSE in post-compulsory education, also at Brighton. This led to teaching on counselling courses. As my interest in teaching developed, I undertook a PhD in Education at the University of East Anglia. My thesis focused on the experiences of counselling students during their training and highlighted potential tensions between ‘doing counselling’ and ‘being a counsellor’. I am currently Head of Counselling Programmes at the University of Chichester.
