After spending many years working in Local Government Financial Sections working with computers, I retrained as a Counsellor gaining my Certificate followed by my Diploma. I carried on training and gained a Person Centred Art Therapy qualification and I also became a Certified Practitioner in Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). I am also a respite foster carer for teenagers and I spent several years as voluntary Youth Worker counselling teenagers. I am interested in alternative and holistic therapies and nutrition.

From this background, I understand some of the stresses of working life, being a parent and trying to deal with the cards that life hands out.

I approach counselling from a solution based focus and I help clients to discover where they are, where they wish to be, what they need to get there and what stops them. I believe that being a counsellor is a privilege as every client’s story is unique and I am allowed to share some of that story. With this in mind, I use a Person Centred approach but will bring in other ‘tools’ as required to help my client on their journey.
