Who am I?

Experience

For more than a decade I have worked with people with a wide range of emotional health and relationship issues in private practice, the voluntary sector and through the NHS.

For the last four years, I have also been working as a therapist with people affected by physical ill health problems or other disability as well as people managing chronic pain or in recovery from disabling accidents. In addition to this I have been providing counselling to people with a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome and their carers for the Kingston Aspergers Service.


Previously to this I worked primarily with people with a diagnosis of severe mental illness (diagnoses such as Bi-polar or Schizophrenia) concentrating specifically on addictions.

I am also an accredited mediator.

Addictions
These days addictions range from alcohol and drugs to gambling and pornography. Counselling can help.

Relationships
Our relationships provide the key to living a meaingful and fulfilling life. Counselling can help with crises but it can also be useful in getting more from any relationship..

Asperger Counselling
I provide counselling for both people with a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome and those who care for them.
