Training

Alongside my counselling practice, I am proud to offer training, workshops, and guest lectures in counselling and psychotherapy, drawing on my extensive experience as a Senior Lecturer and Programme Leader at the University of Derby. I specialise in delivering high-quality, person-centred counselling training that is both academically rigorous and deeply rooted in the values of empathy, authenticity, and respect.

My training sessions and workshops are designed to engage, inspire, and deepen understanding, whether you are a student counsellor beginning your journey, a qualified practitioner seeking to refresh your skills, or an organisation looking to enhance mental health awareness among your staff. I can tailor sessions to meet the needs of specific audiences, offering practical insights, theoretical foundations, and reflective exercises that promote personal and professional growth.

As an experienced educator, I am passionate about creating a supportive learning environment where participants feel safe to explore new ideas, reflect critically on their practice, and build the confidence needed to work effectively and ethically. Whether delivering a focused workshop, guest lecture, or a more in-depth training programme, my aim is always to combine academic knowledge with real-world application, making learning relevant, engaging, and accessible.

Please get in touch to discuss bespoke training opportunities, guest speaking engagements, or workshops tailored to your needs.
