Hello and welcome to my profile. I work in Ilkley and Leeds city centre .Are you having personal problems that leave you feeling hopeless and alone and feel you need support in your time of difficulty or crisis? Then counselling can give you the opportunity to discover ways to make changes that are meaningful in your life. I am a warm, open , approachable person who believes passionately that talking therapy gives you a place to explore your problems and to begin to change whatever is troubling you by helping you gain clarity whilst developing potential coping strategies.I qualified as a Person Centred counsellor and have had further training and interest in Psychodynamic therapy. I am a very experienced counsellor with over 15 years experience. I have extensive experience working with clients suffering from issues such as work related stress and anxiety, personal identity questions including sexuality, domestic violence, relationship problems, mental health concerns and issues of drug and alcohol etc.My work has also included counselling in a hospice working on such issues as bereavement and loss.I am currently training to be a counselling supervisor.
