My experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist spans over 20 years working in. variety of settings, here and in Australia. Currently I work in private practice mainly with adults who present with a wide range of issues. I am highly skilled at developing a therapeutic relationship with my clients and offering them a space space in which to unfold and share their concerns. Mindfulness forms a backdrop within which I work, enabling clients to become increasingly aware of themselves and their current difficulties.
In addition to offering counselling and psychotherapy sessions, I am also an experienced supervisor of counsellors and psychotherapists, offering them the opportunity to present their clients' concerns and work through any difficulties emerging through the work.
