Profile

I know how difficult it is to talk to family and friends about one's anxieties and concerns and how important the opportunity to be able to speak to someone in confidence.

I am a member of the BACP and an Accredited Counsellor based in North London -Totteridge, N20. I undertake long and short term work with clients who are experiencing difficulties such as those brought about by -

• bereavement and loss
• childhood trauma affecting adulthood,
• sibling rivalry,
• sexual and physical abuse,
• sudden losses or changes of circumstances 
• the guilt and sadness resulting from that most difficult of decisions - to put a parent, spouse or child into residential care. 

My background is -

• working in schools and colleges specifically with special needs, including physical and learning disabilities.  
• a long association with the elderly, disabled and vulnerable.

I hold one-to-one counselling sessions for individuals in relation to all of the above.
