I started training to become a counsellor in February 2021.

 

I began the course as an outlet to process some of my own emotions after a difficult breakup, I was pleasantly surprised just how much I enjoyed the course.

 

Over the next year I continued my studies at a counselling training center in Peckham.

 

By August 2023 I had completed the Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies and decided to embark on the Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.

 

Over the next two years I worked as a volunteer counsellor at Change Grow Live in Bromley (a substance misuse charity). I was fortunate enough to work with both service users and family and carers of those recovering from addiction. It was a really rewarding role and the catalyst for me deciding to qualify as a counsellor.

 

After qualifying as a counsellor and gaining my BACP membership in January 2025, I embarked on working in private practice and have been working with a range of private clients over the past 11months. 

 

In April 2025 I also started working as a counsellor at Spectrum Life which involves triaging clients, offering in the moment support to clients, and crisis management for students and employees.
