I currently work at C. R. I. In Hove with clients who have difficulties with their drug and alcohol use - I have worked here for 3 years.

I also joined Ashford Counselling Services this year working with clients over 18.

I worked as a counsellor at Folkstone and Dover colleges from 2010-2012 working with young people and mature students.

Also from 2010-2012 I worked as a counsellor for the charity The Place2Be in an infant and primary school in Rainham. My clients were aged between 5 and 11.

I feel I am very fortunate to be a counsellor and privileged that people allow me into their worlds. I train to keep updated and educated and to be the best I can be for my clients. I also have regular supervision and continue my own personal development. I offer you a warm, accepting, safe place where we can look at what is happening for you and together find a way forward.
