I have been a therapist for the past 14 years. I work with children, young people, adults and families throughout the Barnsley and surrounding area.
I started my career as a therapist specialising in Domestic Violence, working for a charitable organisation in the Village of Mapplewell. I have worked in a specialist school academy with children that have experienced various traumas and have learning difficulties. For seven years I have specialised in Trauma, Attachment and Dissociation, and worked for an organisation that specialised in a model of therapy for children in adoption and fostering, alongside assessing children with complex trauma, until deciding to open my own Private Practice here at the Village Hall. I have opened my practice in the local community as I wanted to give something back to the people that I have become accustomed to.
I am an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
