I believe that, given the right circumstances and support, people can make the changes they need in order to enhance their life and discover their potential. My approach is holistic, in that I am interested in "the whole person", and I often encourage clients to examine aspects of their overall lifestyle, such as health, diet and exercise, to assist and support the psychological and emotional changes they are making.

MY EXPERIENCE

My experience includes working with adults and teenagers, in both private practice and voluntary settings, covering a broad range of issues. Also as a freelance counsellor for employee assistance providers.

In addition to counselling and supervising, I have also taught various training workshops for counsellors and student counsellors.

HUMANISTIC VALUES

  I believe that all humans are worthy of respect and acceptance.

  Given the right conditions and circumstances human beings have an innate tendency towards positive growth and achieving their potential.

  Human beings are capable of thought and choice, and therefore responsibility.
