Experience
I have experience of counselling in a variety of organisations:
- GP practice
- School counselling
- University student counselling service
- Domestic violence support
- Bereavement support
I am confident to work with clients over a wide range of issues (please see list below) and, particularly from my work in a GP practice, have experienced a broad range of cases. If I felt that a new referral was outside of my range of expertise, I would refer the person to another counsellor (in accordance with the BACP code of ethics).
Prior to counselling, I had a career as an HR manager, in a large multi-site organisation, that provided me with experience of the stresses of work-related pressure and their affect on individual’s well being. My experience of both careers has provided me with a perspective from both sides of the employer/employee relationship, which can be useful when supporting my clients.
