Practice description
The bulk of my counselling experience has been working within the LGBTQIA+ community, and especially supporting clients who are gender non-conforming. However, generally the people I work with seek counselling for many other reasons, but recognise that they need a space that is non-judgmental, confidential and safe - a space where they don’t need to defend or explain themselves. As a person-centred counsellor, I hope to supportively guide people towards their own answers, and help them to uncover their own truths. I began my counselling journey nearly 30 years ago, as a Samaritan volunteer, and have spent 10 years working as a Counselling Supervisor at ChildLine. I also managed METRO’s Counselling service for 11-25 year olds, as well as supporting the volunteer counsellors and clients across their Over 25 service.
