Profile
I am 61 years old and live and work in Bristol, UK. I am a qualified school teacher, and have spent most of my life working in teaching and training roles of various kinds.
I am a Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I am a member of the Triratna Buddhist Order (ex-Western Buddhist Order) and teach Buddhist meditation classes and retreats in and around Bristol.
I work away from home in a comfortable and very peaceful counselling room in Bedminster, Bristol, UK within easy reach of buses, trains and good parking. It is possible to safely store a bicycle.
I can offer reduced rates to anyone wanting counselling but in difficult financial circumstances, and will consider offering fortnightly sessions to ease payment. I offer a lower hourly rate for the initial introductory session.
