My clinical experience:

I began my training as a Counsellor in 2000 and began working within various local drugs agencies and the ECHG, (English Church Housing Group), working with clients affected by homelessness, abuse, drug and alcohol issues.

I currently work and support the victims of crime through the voluntary organisation Victim Support. This is work I have enjoyed for the last 7 years

I am retained by several national organizations and offer an as needed counselling service for both staff and clients of these companies. I am also a regular contributor to Ridings FM Radio in Wakefield, as a counsellor and weight management consultant.

I established my independent private practice in 2004, and my clients find their way to me by being referred by their G.P. or via the internet. A good deal of my private work comes through personal recommendation, which I find particularly rewarding.

My clients have come for help with a wide variety of issues and concerns, these include:

anxiety; stress; weight management; post traumatic stress; bereavement; sudden loss;
lack of confidence; loneliness; coping with crisis; personal development;
assertiveness; relationship issues; marital difficulties; divorce & separation;
low self esteem; communication skills; redundancy; work related issues;  sexuality.

I am an individual member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Helping assure you of a high standard of professional care.
