About me and my therapy practice

Qualified with a Masters in Counselling in 2008, I am a registered BACP counsellor / therapist, and have gained many years of experience working in various settings including large corporations, private medical practice and in the voluntary sector. I currently work through my own practice, 'Silver linings Counselling, based in Ripon, North Yorkshire. 

My approach is warm and supportive, and I take a client-centred (person centred) approach and aim to  provide a safe and inspirational space for clients to explore the challenges they are facing in life. I have expertise in CBT ( Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), but use a range of approaches and techniques, depending on the issues clients are facing.
