Counselling Experience 

In the last 12 years, I have gained extensive experience in:

• Individual therapy (both short and long-term),
• Couple, and family counselling
• Blended Families
• Affairs and sexual addictions
• Sexual issues
• Counselling children and adolescents
• Group therapy
• Domestic violence
• Adults who have experienced childhood trauma
• Aspergers
• Trauma
• Dissociation
• Grief and Loss
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Carers Counselling
• Cancer Counselling
• Many, many issues that life throws at people
• Supervision

Common issues that are raised are depression, anxiety, decision-making, and work situations. Couples come with relationship difficulties, such as affairs, blended families, high conflict, lack of intimacy, sexual problems or addictions.

Adults with childhood abuse often want to resolve the past and move to a new chapter in their lives. I am experienced in working with dissociation and trauma.

Prior to becoming a counsellor, I was a teacher, working in high schools, and in Special Education. This has given me additional skills I need to be able to work effectively with children and adolescents. I use sandplay and a range of other tools to help young people to move on quickly and with confidence. Issues include:

• bullying
• school refusal
• lack of confidence
• anger
• grief and loss
• parental conflict or separation
• family issues
• trauma such as domestic violence
• severe illness or other major life events
