About me
I work as a member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy which gives you the confidence you are working with a professional counsellor under the guidelines of a professional organisation. I have worked within the National Health Service for 32 years gaining vast experience in many health care settings. I have been privileged to work on the BetterHelp platform for over three years. I also provide private therapy to adults working in a non judgemental environment.
I attend regular courses to update my knowledge in order to allow me to work with the most up to date and current counselling skills.
I work as a integrative Counsellor using a variety of differing counselling approaches and techniques which aim to support your individual needs in an empathetic, genuine approach. Life can present many challenges for which a little support can make a difference. "Remember you are your own limit".
If you feel I can support you I would be pleased to be part of your journey. Taking the decision to accept help and support is the first part of a better understanding of yourself and how you can achieve peace in your life. Don't struggle alone I am here to listen and support you in a non judgemental manner.
I work with a very flexible approach working evening's and weekends on request to fit in with busy lives, I aim to be as flexible as possible to suit your needs. My schedule is only a guide to my availability so please don't hesitate to message me. Thank-you for taking time to read my profile.
