About me
Are you seeking peace of mind and relief from your current emotional challenges? Whatever it may be that you are struggling with, I can help you.
If you are struggling with stress and uncomfortable emotions, anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties or any problems that come with challenging life situations, please get in touch. As a specialist in stress management I can help you start to get your life into the right balance. Together, we can find the right solutions for you. I can assure you that it is my aim to provide you with the best experience possible and give you the help you need in the fewest number of sessions possible.
With so many different types of counselling and therapy out there it can be very difficult to know what to choose. Human givens therapy uses the best elements found in other models whilst incorporating unique insights that make all the difference. It is so rewarding to see the progress people make - even from the very first session - when following human givens principles. Giving human givens therapy a try could be the best investment in yourself that you ever make.
Training, qualifications & experience
I worked previously for 26 years as a high school teacher in the special needs sector. I specialised in teaching teenagers with extremely challenging emotional, behavioural and social difficulties.
It is a huge privilege to now be able to transfer all the knowledge and skills I have built up over the years into helping people overcome the emotional challenges that can easily affect so many of us from time to time.
