Credentials
Dr Rosie obtained a diploma in counselling and psychotherapy in 1997, and became a part-time counsellor in a GP surgery as well as setting up her private practice. Her original training was in psychodynamic counselling, but she has developed an integrative style, using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to provide short term counselling and guided imagery for trauma work.
Rosie taught counselling at a College of Further Education, as well as providing counselling training and supervision for a local counselling agency. She obtained a Master’s degree from Bristol University in 2001 and a doctorate in psychotherapy from Middlesex University and the metanoia Institute in 2006. She has a diploma in counselling for eating disorders from the National Centre for Eating Disorders, and is one of their affiliated practitioners, as well as being linked with Foundations UK, an organisation seeking to provide education for young people about eating problems, and also providing them with counselling. She has presented papers on her research into obesity at the International Conference on Psychological Responses to Eating Disorders and Obesity in June 2005 and July 2006.
