Counsellor Profile

I am a counsellor/psychotherapist working from my home near OAKHAM and from the Church Street Practice in MELTON MOWBRAY.
I have 16 years experience as a qualified, Registered Independent Practitioner. I have extensive experience working for the NHS, currently heading up a therapy service in one of the largest GP Medical Practices in the UK.
I have gained considerable experience in working with a wide range of issues including: depression, anxiety, phobias, panic disorder, stress and relationship issues.
