Counsellor Profile

Going to see my first counsellor was one of the hardest things I have ever done. When I see new clients I always acknowledge this. For many of us brought up in a culture where feelings are not expressed I acknowledge to you now, what you are doing is not easy. It is however very fulfilling once you take that step. It is not a quick fix.

I practice as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist and I am a member of BACP.
I have been involved in personal development and training since 1997. I worked for many years in the administration. For many years I have provided voluntary work in sport where I gained the ability to encourage, challenge and develop those around me. I decided to expand my experience and attended my first counselling course in 1997.
I now incorporate these abilities whilst I support my clients as they explore the choices available to them in their life.

I enjoy building a working relationship with individual adults on both a long term and short term basis.
