My Counselling Service and Experience

I am a fully qualified and experienced Counsellor / Psychotherapist. I am a Registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and have also been awarded BACP Accreditation. My past experience includes working as a Teacher, Family Support Worker, Group Facilitator and Bereavement Counsellor. I now work as a Counsellor within a school setting and in my own Private Practice. My referrals come from individuals, Employer Assisted Programmes, school staff well-being initiatives, and professional sporting organisations.

I have a special interest in, and experience of, working with transition, loss and ‘shattered dreams’, ie feeling as if ‘this was not how it was supposed to be’. This led me to set up The Mooring Counselling Service in Market Deeping. I also have experience of counselling clients with a wide range of other issues including stress and anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, bereavement and relationship issues.

I have undergone my own personal therapy which is why I can understand the anxiety you may feel at the start of your counselling journey but also why I can speak from experience that the process of counselling really can work.
