Experience
As a counsellor I have run my own practice since 2021. As part of that practice, I have worked in primary and secondary schools as a counsellor to their students. I have a particular passion for working with children in their teenage years as well as with their parents. The teenage years are full of challenges, not only for the teen themselves, but for the family unit around them. Helping families to understand those changes and to prepare for them is very rewarding.
I have worked in industry for over 30 years.
I have experience working in international organisations, interacting across departments and geographies, high pressure environments all while juggling the joys and requirements of raising a family. I enjoy working with adults who want to feel more fulfilled in what they do while enjoying and appreciating their life, relationships, career and family.
I have a messy home, a wife, two teenage daughters and a dog.
