I have had a long & varied career and considerable life experiences, which I bring to good use in my work as a Gestalt Counsellor (see below for more information about Gestalt). I trained as an engineer, have run businesses, worked in education with schools and the local authority and provided sports coaching and business consultancy & coaching. I have also brought up a family comprising biological and stepchildren.
I came to counselling work through my own personal explorations, which has given me a deep understanding of clients processes and the importance of having extra support at certain times in our life. I continue with my own personal development through various ongoing training and I am currently undertaking a postgraduate diploma in psychotherapy leading to a Masters degree.
So what do you need? It may be a space to explore how you can lead a more rewarding and fulfilling life or a chance to discover who you really are, or maybe you want to explore your current needs and desires?
I have provided help to people with anxiety, anger, bereavement, difficult relationships, depression, addictions, low self esteem, low self confidence, stress, trauma, fears, phobias, those suffering abuse and more..
