About me

 

I have worked as a counsellor in a number of settings, including schools, private health and social care facilities, voluntary and third sector organisations. I have been privileged to work and help people of all ages, coming from diverse cultural backgrounds, race, faith and sexuality. Prior to my work as a counsellor I worked as a senior behavioural practitioner for a large health and social care organisation for people with learning disabilities and challenging behaviours, I have also served as a mentor and coach and worked as a life skills instructor.

I am a passionate individual who takes genuine interest in other people. As a professional I am striving to reach to as many people as possible helping each and everyone find their path through life, supporting self-actualisation and helping them achieving their full potential in all dimensions.

​

I have also an interest in training and teaching the vital skills essential for successful engagement with professional and personal development and growth.
