About my professional background
I’ll help you get to the heart of what’s really bothering you. In my own life, I’ve been through good times, tough times and the best of times; for me the best are the times when life gently moves along without anyone noticing. Having spent 30+ years as an artist and designer for business, clients find my real-world communication and counselling skills are invaluable.
I trained in Person-Centred Therapeutic Counselling, I work integratively and I am a Certified ADHD Clinical Services Provider. I am qualified to counsel both adults and young people (14+) and I also work as a Coach and Clinical Supervisor, supporting other counsellors and coaches.
