I have worked in a variety of settings including schools and colleges, currently I work with several Universities and their students needing specialist mentoring support together with continuing to work with a cancer charity including the provision of bereavement support and in my private practice. My experience is broad covering most areas of our lives where we experience difficulties. I am qualified to work online, at the telephone and face to face. I am trained in, and offer walking therapy sessions outdoors as I believe for some, therapy combined with an outdoor environment can provide significant therapeutic breakthroughs and benefits.
