About me
Having experienced personal difficulties with anxiety and burnout several years ago I made the decision to find a Counsellor. I felt the benefit in talking therapy and the sessions provided me with a space to share what I was really experiencing, this enabled a real shift in my mood and perspective in how I talked to myself.
In my professional life I have 18 years experience in Social Care and the NHS in secondary mental health services with adults in the community, hospital and hospice settings. The experience of working with people from all backgrounds who have faced different challenges due to their personal circumstances has given me a foundation for my counselling practice.
I have experience of supporting people in their homes and within care facilities. I have provided support for family members who become their loved one’s carers.
My time in those roles taught me everyone has their own life experiences that may lead them to needing support. My work as a counsellor has deepened my knowledge and skills to ensures I provide an attentive and supportive sessions.
So, if any if this resonates with you, email or send a message and we can have a free initial consultation to see if I am able to help. I do not believe pressurising people into booking in, it always has to feel right for you.
I have volunteered at a North Devon Secondary School with children 16+ and I have experience working as a volunteer Counsellor for the charities Clarity and North Devon Against Domestic Abuse.
