 My Experience

From a background in nursing, I have worked in the field of substance misuse, as a key worker and a group facilitator.  I have  counselled in general practice and for more than 7 years, I worked as a college counsellor providing counselling to students and staff within a college of further education.

 In my present private practice, I see clients referred from employment assistance programmes, some with work-related issues, in addition to providing counselling therapy to those requesting private counselling.
