Emotional and Mental Health T A Psychotherapist
EMDR Practitioner
Hypnotherapist
Counsellor
working with adults and children
Welcome to Peace of Mind
I am an Emotional Health Consultant with over 23 years experience of working with children, adolescents and adults who have experienced emotional and/or mental health issues. I have collaborated and worked within various agencies, ranging from local authorities, voluntary and charitable organisations, the NHS and within educational settings.
I offer my service across the whole of the North West and I undertake therapy in my consultation room in the Prestwich area/Bury area. When working with children the home environment maybe more appropriate and this can be discussed during consultation.
At a clinical level, I am able to support children and adults where there are issues around loss & grief, self-harm, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Experience
Since qualifying as a child and family Social Worker in 2000 I have continued to develop my knowledge, experience and skills in the field of emotional health with children and their families, my specialism being within the field of looked after children.
I have current registration with BACP as an individual member and have a valid DBS certificate. In 2003 I qualified as a person centred counsellor and combine this therapy with NLP and EMDR techniques where I utilise an integrated approach.
In 2013 I obtained my Hypnotherapy Diploma and now practice as a clinical Hypnotherapist and have registration with the General Hypnotherapy Register and have worked with both children and adults with positive outcomes.
I trained for 4 years as a TA Psychotherapist and have many hours experience of working with clients who have presented with a
diagnosis of Bi-polar, Borderline Personality Disorder, Paranoia and who have experienced significant episodes of psychosis.
Furthermore, I hold an adult teaching qualification (City and Guilds 730/7) that I have utilised in the delivery & facilitation of numerous training courses to varied groups across the region. I have also facilitated therapeutic parenting programmes and workshops around various topics.
