I work with Individuals and Couples privately at home in a comfortable quiet rural setting. Previously I worked in a number of low cost community settings along the coastline for often the most disadvantaged people, typically with both therapeutic and mental health issues (dual diagnosis) and with clients with addiction issues.
I also offer a limited number of domiciliary appointments for those who require this.
During my therapist training years I gained a lot of experience working Compassionately with people by working in various roles in a variety of environments including Mental Health, severely Autistic Adults and Young People, including Residential, as well as spending some time working in Psychiatric wards so have a good experiential knowledge of the impact on Key Workers, Partners, Carers and Families of those labelled / diagnosed as above, as well those who are in these life positions directly.
