After over 25 years as a counsellor, I have been privileged to work with clients who present with a massive variety of issues and hopes. The ideal client is the one who is brave enough to reach out and say they want something to change for them, that they want better for themselves and invite me to be an integral part of that solution - it's an honour that I take seriously, ethically, honestly and carefully. I have worked with all age groups, predominately adults, from 18 - 90, all cultures, backgrounds, religions, genders and histories - I will always be client led and supportive and professional with whatever their goals are.
I specialise in family and domestic violence, addictions, mental health issues (severe included), homelessness, aged and dementia, carers, intellectual disability and trauma/PTSD, which affords me to be experienced in grief and loss, depression and anxiety, suicidal ideation, relationship issues to name a few. The models I use are varied to suit individuals
I genuinely care about being able to support clients with whatever issues they present, within a safe, therapeutic professional and empathic environment. I am not the expert of your life, you are, so I will always listen and involve you in your healing - my aim is to give my clients the best possible support and future available within clinical boundaries.
