Context to the service

From personal experience navigating the challenging and uncertain path to becoming a Clinical Psychologist combined with professional knowledge and experiences in the selection of Clinical Psychology and BACP accredited Counselling trainees, Libby brings knowledge, advice and offers reflective space to support prospective psychologists, counsellors and therapists towards reaching their personal and career goals. She also designs and leads training in personal and professional development that she delivers to trainees and has acted as a mentor since her undergraduate training years.

It is a passion of Libby’s to impart what she has learnt on her own journey to date in the quest to help others, having learnt from the guidance, wisdom and actions of teachers and supervisors that have shaped her own development and career trajectory.

“True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their own.”  ― Nikos Kazantzakis
