EXPERIENCE
I am a qualified counsellor experienced in working with adults who present with a range of issues. These issues include anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, loss, Domestic Abuse and workplace issues. Although my counselling approach is Humanistic Gestalt, I employ Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques in the process if I feel it will support and benefit you.
In addition to my private practice, I continue to work in the voluntary sector counselling adults from across all sectors of the community. During this time, I have gained considerable experience in delivering time-limited therapy.
Prior to qualifying as a counsellor, I had a long career in public service in both administrative and managerial roles. I have worked in various different areas and locations including overseas. I understand the stress that emerges in the workplace including bullying, work/life balance and time management.
