About Me
Before becoming a counsellor, I was employed in several different jobs - as a librarian, as a secretary and as a needlewoman with my own craft business. You can see one of my pictures below, and others on the Scrapbook page.
Creativity is still an important element of my life, and I believe that honouring this part of ourselves often plays a key role in healing and personal growth. So I generally keep that in mind in all my counselling work. For those who earn their living in the Arts, emotional and psychological wellbeing is frequently crucial to a sustained career, and here counselling can make a significant difference.
My first encounter with counselling was in 1991, as a client. It was so helpful that I eventually decided to train as a counsellor myself.
