Experience

My career working with families spans over 40 years. During this time I have worked for local authorities, the voluntary sector and in training & further education. This experience led me on my journey to formally train as a Counsellor.

 

I have supported individuals & families experiencing difficulties & dealing with the impact of trauma working with them to achieve change.

I have experience of working with & helping people who have experienced difficulties with relationships, feelings of anger, low mood, bereavement and loss, trauma, abuse, bullying, feelings of anxiety & work stress.

​​

 Many people struggle with feelings of low self esteem, of not feeling good enough, feeling the need to prove themselves, or feel the need to be on their guard.

Past experiences can impact upon people’s current lives leading to issues such as depression, anxiety, substance misuse, compulsive eating, disturbed sleep patterns, over thinking and poor motivation. Talking therapy can help many people dealing with those issues.

I work with adults as a Counsellor in a G.P surgery and have experience in the voluntary sector in addition to private practice.
