I have lived in West Yorkshire since 1992. I qualified as a dietitian and have worked in the NHS from 1988-2015. First working in Sheffield, then Manchester and finally settled in West Yorkshire, I completed my training as a psychotherapist in 2013. Further training in Mindfulness began in 2014. I believe the mind and body function together, not in isolation. Looking after each of these is important. In my counselling practice I help individuals to see themselves holistically, as a physical body, an active enquiring mind, and as a person in relationship with others. My experience and interests mean I am well equipped to counsel those with medical conditions and disordered eating behaviours. I believe many illnesses, either physical or mental are a result of no longer being able to cope effectively with the difficulties life has thrown at us.
The world of counselling and psychotherapy can be confusing, especially if you have never felt the need for counselling before. Counselling can be useful for anyone, but usually is associated with depression, anxiety and stress. To help understand about the service I offer at Insightfulness I have identified 5 key areas.
