- About My Work
- “I am a counsellor, clinical supervisor and lecturer with extensive experience in private practice, supporting individuals, couples and families through complex emotional and relational challenges. I have particular interest in working with adults who have experienced childhood trauma and attachment difficulties, and a person's sense of self and identity, as well as with neurodivergent individuals and couples, including those with autism and ADHD, using neurodivergence-affirming strengths-based approaches that honour diverse ways of thinking, feeling and relating. I provide supervision to both emerging and experienced practitionars and I am a member of the ACA College of Supervisors.”
- My Story
- “I have been counselling for over 25 years now, and for the past 15 years have been training and supervising counsellors. I'm married with 4 adult children and 8 grandchildren. I live by the sea and love walking along the beach in the afternoons.”
