My Background
My background is in secondary science education and I have much training and expertise in working with young people. My experience as a counsellor spans a wide age range, from 12+ teenagers to 80+ adults.
Each age group presents its own particular life crises and benefits from the compassionate way in which I approach the therapeutic relationship. I have counselled in diverse settings from youth agency to hospice, as well as working as a volunteer school counsellor.
