~ I am a qualified counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP); working within the BACP code of ethics ~
~~~
~ I've worked with clients with a wide range of issues; including addiction, loss, anxiety, relationship problems, sexuality, low self esteem, depression, panic attacks, etc ~
In the past, I've worked at an agency where I provided emotional support to new mothers - including teenage mums; and I used to be a call-taker on a national telephone helpline for parents. I also have experience of working as a counsellor within a primary school and within a GP practice and also at a counselling service for LGBT clients.
I am currently a volunteer counsellor at a drug and alcohol addictions service, as well as running my own counselling practice ...
I love this work... I have worked with a variety of clients - male, female, young and old. Everybody is unique. I value each and every one of my clients. It is a privilege to be able to cross paths with so many people, and to walk alongside them for part of their journey through life...
