About me
I am a mother and grandmother and have a background in teaching - from preschool through to adult male offenders. I worked for 16 years as a psychotherapeutic counsellor with adolescents and adults in Primary Care gaining experience in a wide range of presenting problems.
Since the introduction of the Talking Therapies services in Primary Care I have been working in private practice. I am founder of the Counsellors' Collective South West and an Approved Counsellor for Adoption, registered with Barnardos. I work face to face and remotely via zoom.
