Profile

I trained as a counsellor 20+ years ago and I offer face to face, one to one and couples / relationship counselling. I also see young people and parents of young children / teenagers with difficulties as well as those who have experienced a bereavement. I offer an initial free, very brief meeting so that you can decide if I am the right person to work with you and I explain what kind of counselling I can offer. If I can not help then we can discuss other options.

I am willing to make home visits for couple counselling, locally, should parents of young children not be able to arrange baby sitters.

I work evenings and weekends, as well as some occasional weekday periods.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I have been a health care professional for over 40 years . I currently work as a counsellor in an acute hospital setting with people who are experiencing a serious illness. I also meet with their family members who are affected by the trauma of illness including children and young people.
I have worked with those who are HIV positive and their families and I am very experienced with those who have experienced loss and bereavement. I see people who have low self esteem and those who have been abused. I also have experience of working with people who have a history of drug or alcohol abuse.
