MY EXPERIENCE.
RESIDENTIAL CARE:
I have spent many years working within the care sector, particularly mental health, and have, for many years, owned a residential home for adults who have been diagnosed with long-term mental illness, particularly Schizophrenia, Depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Bipolar, Obsessive Compulsion Disorder, Learning Disabilities, Borderline Personlity Disorder, Tourettes, Korsacoffs, Alzheimers, Self-Harming, Identity Crisis, Aspergers Syndrome and Dementia.
This line of work has required me to become familiar with the symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment options, for many psychiatric problems. I have also gained a wealth of experience in alcohol and drug misuse, aggressive and violent behaviour, mood swings, poor self-esteem, and marginalization.
COMMUNITY CARE:
In addition to the above service, I am also involved in a project which offers compassionate support and counseling to the family members and friends of those who are suffering from mental illness.
PRIVATE PRACTICE:
In private practice, both in-person and on-line, I have worked with clients who are experiencing relationship difficulties (including sexual dysfunction, sexual exploration, transgender issues, fetish, ineffective communication, and infidelity), low self-esteem, abuse, anger management issues, repetative self-harming tendancy, isolation issues, and weight management difficulties.

MY SERVICE.
Hello there and thank you for taking the time to visit my virtual office and read my profile. I hope that you will find the following information helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions which are not answered on this page.
As an experienced Counsellor, Therapist, and Mental Health Manager (Fully Licensed), I welcome the opportunity to tell you a little bit about myself, the service I provide, and my professional history.
I offer compassionate and sensitive help to enable you to address any problems or issues which are having a negative impact upon your life, in a safe and supportive environment. Often, we choose the same things over and over, because change is scary. Or we choose not to choose, and remain stuck in a situation we don't like but are afraid to leave.
Professional Counseling can help you to identify, and change, those behaviors which are no longer working, and empower you to make more informed decisions and choices.
I perceive my role as assisting clients' to explore their feelings, identify issues, and set achievable goals which will bring about resolution and closure.
I offer FREE MINUTES at the start of EVERY SESSION to enable you to explain your issue and decide whether to hire or not. In addition, I offer a FREE EMAIL FOLLOW-UP to clients who have had a live session.
Happiness is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to deal with it
