Professional Membership:

Background:

I have many years experience working in special educational needs settings. Neurodivergent clients may find this background enhances their experience of counselling.

Alongside my private practice, I have worked as a Specialist Mentor for students in higher education, for an Employee Assistance Programme that provides counselling for people in the workplace and for a non-profit that offers counselling to young people and adolescents.
