About Me
I am qualified/trained in inter-cultural counselling and offer affordable rates. I work with individuals, couples and families from all different backgrounds developing a greater awareness of self.
I work from an integrative perspective, looking how past experiences, behaviours might shape and influence our thinking in regards to both our present relationships with others and in our relationships with ourselves and our own personal, spiritual and/or cultural identities. Whether your problems are identifiable, or confusing, counselling can help you deal with emotions that are difficult to understand, giving you fresh insight into your life in order to find the best way forward.
Part of my training was in Drug & Alcohol Services for four years alongside private practice, equipping clients with a range of tools and techniques to help manage anxiety/depression in a safe confidential counselling setting and in a doctor’s surgery.
While training as a counsellor, I have worked for more than five years with a homeless charity and over five years with NHS Mental Health Services.
