As a qualified Counsellor, my foundation is Person-Centered, which is based on Carl Rogers’ theories of unconditional positive regard, empathy and genuineness.
With Life Coaching clients I base my work on the New Insights coaching programme, which is a tried and tested method based on many years of research about help people succeed and reach their goals.
I qualified in Clinical Hypnosis with the Psychotherapy and Hypnosis Training Association in 1997. Also in 1997 I gained a Certificate in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), having trained with its co-creator Richard Bandler, Hypnotist Paul McKenna and business trainer, Michael Breen.
I hold both a City and Guilds 730 Further and Adult Education Training Certificate and a Certificate in Education (Post-Compulsory) and have facilitated groups at Stockport MIND since 2002.
I have been interested in and studied psychology for many years, and have developed an in-depth knowledge of mental health issues.
I am passionate about empowering people to make the changes they choose in their lives, and love watching people grow and develop.
In my personal life I love painting, the countryside, gardening and my cats; Squealer and Spider.
