As I wrote in the About Me section - I spent a large part of my career in criminal justice. This experience means that alongside my general counselling service, I can offer specialist forensic experience and services.
For many years I worked with service users in the probation setting who had experienced a lot of trauma and life adversity. I was met daily with both the challenges of everyday life as well as the devastating after effects of trauma often manifesting in addiction, uncontrollable emotions, relationship difficulties, self harm and mental health diagnosis. I have training in working with personality disorders.
I facilitated therapeutic group work and this experience has later led me, as a therapist, to counselling in prison. In this setting I have worked with survivors of childhood abuse experiencing CPTSD, PTSD and dissociative symptoms.
Alongside my private practice, I manage a counselling service for women leaving prison who have experienced child loss and separation.
I have specialist training in the prevention of harm by working with people who display sexually harmful behaviour or who have crossed into illegal sexual behaviour. I am a registered StopSO therapist and I take private referrals from a specialist charity working with the families and partners of those who have been affected by 'the knock'.
I have a depth of experience working with compulsive sexual behaviour including pornography use and other out of control sexual behaviours. I am non-judgemental and respect client individuality, and sexual preferences. I offer a gentle but down to earth approach to our work and understand your need for my total confidentiality.
Having spent a lot of time in public service, I am also here to support professionals who may have feelings of burnout or have experienced vicarious trauma.
