Biog
I am an experienced counsellor with my own private practice based in Chorlton and Gatley. I also work as a locum counsellor for a charity based in Bakewell. I have had a wide variety of training, including child protection, bereavement and loss counselling, young people and mental health issues, difference and diversity, inner child workshops, sexual abuse and self-harm and
meditation techniques. I have also attended training days about eating disorders, domestic violence and drug and alcohol awareness.
I have worked with young people aged 12-25 in young people's projects for The Children's Society in Bournemouth and a local Youth Service in Poole. I have also co-managed a gay counselling service in Bournemouth. Until recently I was an affiliate counsellor
for BUPA Wellness. I also work for Docleaf as an affiliate counsellor. I have over ten years' experience of working in mental health for both the NHS and privately.
I work with both young people and adult clients as well as couples. I have recently started working online too by email and Internet Relay Chat. I am a humanistic counsellor who works in an eclectic way using different therapeutic techniques from Gestalt, Psychosynthesis and REBT to help my clients. I work both short and long-term to fit my clients' needs.
