With 10 years' experience, I am an Integrative Counsellor, Lecturer, Trainer, and Clinical Supervisor. I specialise in working with teens, trauma, anxiety, OCD, gender, and autism.
Whatever you're going through, I'm listening. I will do my best to support you to make the positive changes you want to make, and to cope with the realities of your life.
I'm not here to judge you, or tell you what to do - but perhaps I can help.

I have found Alan's supervision tremendously helpful. I appreciate his encouragement, good humour and excellent knowledge and insights; this has supported my conceptualisation of client difficulties and thinking through the implications.
