I have worked in the NHS as a Registered General Nurse before commencing my counselling training in 1992. I gained counselling experience through working in various NHS settings. I have set up, managed and maintained a general counselling service at a NHS General Practice Centre. From 1996 to 1998, I organised, managed and maintained a counselling service for the Hand Unit and the Pain Clinic at a NHS Hospital. I started my private practice in 1997.

I have gained a broad range of counselling experience working with adults, couples and small groups. I am familiar with brief and long term counselling. Furthermore, I have counselled clients with many different issues, concerns and problems, including:

anxiety 

stress 

depression and post natal depression 

loss and grief 

panic attacks, fears and phobias

fear of flying  

agoraphobia 

abuse

anger management

redundancy 

relationship and family issues 

low self esteem 

health related issues, anxiety, disability, chronic pain 

employment issues 

stress management 

counselling skills training 

pain management

 
I offer supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists

I see each client, couple or group as unique, therefore the therapeutic counselling approach depends on the needs, preferences, personality and goals of each client.
