About me

I am hearing but qualified to British Sign Language (BSL) NVQ Level 6, although I am not exclusive and happy to work with both the Deaf/deaf and hearing communities, including couples.
​
I am a member of and committed to both the NCPS and the BACP's Code of Ethics. I am in regular supervision and undertake ongoing professional development. I am also registered with the ICO (Information Commissioners Office).
Please contact me if you would like to know more about counselling and what it involves. I am happy to discuss this with you in confidence and without obligation.
I have socialised and worked within the Deaf/deaf Community for over 28 years now and continue to do so, starting off as a CSW (Communication Support Worker) within a college before going freelance and setting up DeeSigns back in 2007.
​
It was the experience of witnessing and feeling the frustration around the difficulties and barriers the Deaf/deaf community face when trying to access one-to-one counselling, that led my passion to also become a Counsellor for the Deaf.
