My nursing experience began in 1988 with people with learning difficulties which became more managerial than therapeutic, so in 1997 I moved into addiction work. This included facilitating therapeutic groups and providing one to one support which is where my interest in counselling began. I have also had nursing experience in a palliative care setting.
I counsel for the NHS focussing on addictions and run a private counselling practice working with a wide range of people. I also offer Natural Awareness Therapy.
As part of my NHS work and BACP membership I am involved in continuing professional development.
