Profile
Sometimes we experience difficulties in our lives; often we cope on our own with support from family or friends. At other times we do not want to burden them, feel we have no-one to turn to or want a bit of extra support. It is more and more common that we ask for support with this through counselling or psychotherapy.
I have worked for over 15 years with people experiencing a range of emotional difficulties in a variety of roles and organisations. Through my training, experience and personal development I have come to understand the value and importance of a confidential space where you receive recognition and support with day to day struggles and longer term issues.
I have practiced as a trainee counsellor / psychotherapist since September 2008 and work with clients with all kind of issues that affect their day-to-day life and the way they cope. I have experience in working together on anxiety and panic attacks, bereavement and loss, couples counselling, depression, guilt, low self esteem, stress at work, redundancy, relationship difficulties and divorce, surviving abuse, trauma and many other issues.
I currenly have time available in afternoons and evenings.
