I knew from the age of 17 that I wanted to be a psychologist, that I wanted to help and support people and that I was fascinated by human behaviour and cognition. I pride myself on my values and ethics and my practice reflects that. I have studied for many years to build my psychological knowledge, my understanding and my competence to be able to practice. Similarly, I have worked in a community mental health team in Manchester working with people with severe and enduring mental illnesses from age 16-65. During this time I was on a continuous learning journey undertaking many courses such as suicide prevention and working with those with drug and alcohol issues alongside mental illness. I have around 23000 hours experience of 1-2-1 client work.To be a chartered psychologist in the UK you must undertake qualifications accredited by the British Psychological Society and unfortunately the title ‘psychologist’ is not yet protected.My psychology qualifications are accredited by the British Psychology Society and I am currently applying for chartered status via the British Psychology Society.Why am I telling you this?I feel that it is unethical to advertise as something that you are not. I strongly advocate that you should be aware of who you are trusting your mental health and wellbeing to and those of your organisation. Anyone can set up a coaching business and coach you, but surely you want the person who has years of training and education, is accredited and chartered to do so. Meaning that you are in the most capable hands.My consultancy is an open, honest and trustworthy space from the very first moment and this continues through your working relationship with me. I am a graduate member of the British Psychological Society and uphold their codes of ethics and conduct which are:

Respect
Integrity
Competence
Responsibility
