Clinical Consultation
I am available for clinical consultation on specific issues in the area of adult mental health, staff well-being, staff training including training needs analysis, research, evaluation and outcome.
Team Supervision and Reflective Practice
I am available for group supervision or facilitation of reflective practice groups. An independent supervisor or facilitator has a number of benefits for your agency as it provides an impartial support mechanism for staff. Having an independent supervisor provides your staff and your agency an objective perspective, which can encourage motivation, a sense of being valued, cohesion, team building, critical thinking and sharing of knowledge, skills and ideas.

I have held the position of Course Director of an undergraduate counselling degree programme for several years. I am passionate about teaching and learning and enjoy igniting enthusiasm and curiosity in others. I enjoy helping others realise their full potential. I welcome the opportunity to share my knowledge of theory and practice with others. I have attained a postgraduate qualification in higher education practice (PGCHEP) and am an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I am available for teaching, guest lecturing and training.
