What I offer…

I am able to work with many situations and people. However there are some areas which I feel I may be particularly helpful

Short term counselling

Most of my work experience has been with people going through some form of rapid change in their lives – mostly unwanted or unexpected. In these situations what people need are recognition, understanding and some sense of direction. Not easy, but having worked with a wide range of people in GP clinics I think I can usually help with that over a short set of 6-8 sessions.

Supervision

Employee Assistance Programmes

I have a contract to support employees under stress with a local voluntary sector provider, and of course , in my work in the NHS I helped many people deal with work related stress . I am good at understanding the sense of self that comes from being a dedicated employee and how it can be stretched by personal circumstances, team issues , conflicting values and health concerns. Since this work is often time limited my experience in helping clients find direction is generally useful.
