Professional experience
My professional working experience will enrich the therapeutic process, as I will be able to draw on my experience of working with a great variety of clients presenting with a diverse range of problems, with young people and adults from all walks of life.
I started as a trainee counsellor in year 2000, working for a charity in the field of addictions initially working with adults. Later, I offered my services as a volunteer bereavement counsellor. I also have the experience of working for the public and the charitable sector with children and young people. Besides this I run a private practice providing individual counselling and therapy.
