I have been working in Mental Health care as a counsellor since 1995. I have worked as a counsellor in Schools, Further education and Universities, Private practice, the Voluntary sector, and Employee Assistance programmes. The presenting issues which clients have brought to my counselling practice during my career has been extensive. I have supported clients in both short term counselling and long term therapy. People seek counselling or psychotherapy for a wide range of reasons, and these are frequently linked with feelings and experiences which they are finding difficult to understand and manage. I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor with over 26 years of experience. I offer counselling/psychotherapy for clients when it may feel hard to find the a way forward on their own. I am committed to providing a safe, confidential and non-judgmental setting and context for our work together, where you can begin to change barriers that may be standing in your way. My aim is to provide a space where you begin to understand yourself and your experiences, and to find ways of feeling able to resolve your personal dififculties and achieve a sense of positivity and hope in respect of the dififuclties you have, or are currently experiencing .
I believe that by creating a safe and private space for counselling, where the therapeutic relationship, and subsequent trust which develops, is a key factor in clients being able to achieve a positive outcome. I have a non-judgemental and anti-discriminatory approach to life and this is central to how I work as a counsellor..
