Counselling / EMDR Supervision York North Yorkshire

Professional Experience and Accreditation

I began my career working for 10 years in a generic counselling service, providing short- to mid-term counselling, much of it based within GP surgeries. I also worked with a specialist service offering mid- to long-term counselling and EMDR therapy for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

In 2009, I completed a Diploma in Individual and Group Supervision, and in 2013 I became a BACP Senior Accredited Supervisor of Individuals. I am a Senior Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a Specialist Accredited Supervisor, and a UKRCP Registered Independent Counsellor, working to the standards of the BACP Ethical Framework.

My Professional Development

I am committed to ongoing professional development and regularly take part in additional training (see my Training page for details). This allows me to continually enhance the support I provide to clients.

I have a particular interest in working with anxiety, trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). To deepen my skills in this area, I trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) in 2008 and achieved EMDR Europe Accreditation in 2012 (see my EMDR page for more details).

Private Practice in York

Thirteen years ago, I established my own private counselling practice in York. Over time, I have developed this into a warm, confidential, and comfortable space where clients can feel safe and supported. I currently work Monday to Wednesday from this dedicated counselling room.

The practice is easily accessible. If you are travelling by car, there is free parking available just outside. For those using public transport, the Rawcliffe Park and Ride is only a few minutes’ walk away, and York Station is just two minutes from the Park and Ride bus stop.
