Nursing and Advanced Practice

Faculty of Health

I am a Level 7 qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, accredited and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). With several years of counselling experience, I have had the opportunity to work with clients of all age groups, addressing a broad spectrum of issues both on a one to one and group bases, ranging from short term to long term counselling. I have worked in a variety of setting such as CAMHS, in patient, third sector and private practice.

My diverse educational background and extensive hands-on experience enable me to offer empathetic, caring, and competent support to my clients, ensuring their psychological well-being is at the forefront of my practice.

As a passionate educator in the field of nursing, my commitment to teaching and preparing the next generation of nurses is unwavering. I consider it a profound privilege to be part of their journey, shaping the future of healthcare by instilling the values and skills necessary for a robust nursing workforce.

The importance of building a capable and compassionate nursing workforce cannot be overstated. It is crucial to the delivery of high-quality patient care and the overall health and well-being of our communities. My role in nurse education allows me to contribute to this mission by focusing on training nurses who are not only competent in their clinical skills but also empathetic and caring in their approach.

I believe that by fostering these qualities in my students, I help to ensure that they will go on to provide exceptional care and make a positive impact on the lives of their patients.
