A few years ago, I reached that point in my life where I was more able to focus on my career than raising my children. This coincidentally was around the same time that I was having a relapse with my own mental health, including recovering from two small strokes and keyhole heart surgery. When I became well, I retrained (I was a Chartered Certified Accountant for over 20 years) and started a new career. I also started running and subsequently took part in the London marathon and the Great North Run to fundraise for MIND, a mental health charity. I continue to fundraise for MIND and my latest challenge was the Great North Run again in September 2022. Since 2017 I have
raised over £10,000 for MIND.
Recently qualified at master’s degree level in Psychological Wellbeing and Mental Health (Nottingham Trent University) I bring a wealth of knowledge about contemporary issues in mental health, including the impact of Covid 19, to your sessions. In addition, I have conducted clinical research into Muss Rewind as part of my master’s degree (Supervised by Nottingham Trent University) and have heard first-hand accounts of how Muss Rewind helped people from various backgrounds who had been impacted by trauma. My research has been published in BACP Counselling and Psychotherapy Research Journal and can be seen under my Muss Rewind Therapy tab. However, when it comes to helping you find the solutions to helping you move forward in your own life, I trust that you are the expert in the room. I work without judgement or prejudice and help my clients find their preferred version of themselves that they might have lost for a while. I am currently studying MSc Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy (Derby University) to enable me to bring more skills to our therapy sesisons where we will always work collabaritively.
As a complimentary therapist, solution focused talking therapist and now as a counsellor in training on a BACP accredited course I always emphasise that I am not medically trained in any way but like medical professionals I am constantly updating my training. Sometimes I work with clients who are also seeking help from their GP or Physiotherapist or Dietician or Oncologist etc and the work we do together can sit alongside the other medical routes being followed. I have had specific training in working within a multi displinary team.
