Experienced counsellor dedicated to mental and emotional health support.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and compassionate counsellor with extensive experience in providing mental and emotional health support. My journey began with a strong foundation in therapeutic counselling, having earned my Level 4/5 BTEC Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from City of Bristol College. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various roles, including as a school college counsellor and an online counsellor with Betterhelp and PAM Group.
Throughout my career, I have been committed to fostering a supportive environment for my clients. My work as a Specialist Student Mentor at Amano Student Support and Randstad has allowed me to focus on the unique challenges faced by students, ensuring they receive the guidance and care they need. I am also an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which underscores my commitment to professional standards and continuous development in the field.
