About me
Qualified as a Counsellor in 2008 I've had the privilege to see clients connect to the strength and resources they possess using counselling as a map, gaining the resilience and resources they seek. I am as passionate about counselling now as when I first started.
Prior to counselling I worked in public and private sectors, understanding the pressure of working cross organisation to deadlines and importance of boundaries and stress reduction to balance health, happiness and well being.
