I work with a wide variety of individuals in order for them to reach their therapeutic goals. I have a clinical interest in motivation and this type of work features in the work I provide. Anxiety tends to be the most common issue I work with, but I assist in a variety of psychological, emotional and behavioural issues as well.

I became interested in Youth and Community work when I was a teenager and started to work for Manchester Youth and Community Education Service I quickly realised that most of the young people and adults I engaged with, needed the support of a trusted adult who they could confide in and talk to about a whole range of issues. This lead me onto my counselling path and in 1986 I undertook a Certificate in Counselling I have been working with young people and adults in a wide range of settings and in particular people who are Neurodiverse/SEND and have faced Adverse Childhood Experiences.
