Add To Gratitude ListBiography
Hello
I was a "late bloomer" to academic studies, but in time have gained a degree in Applied Psychology, Advanced qualifications as a Counsellor,as well as in the Supervision of other counsellors. Alongside that I have completed several certificates in specialised techniques of therapy. I am the author of several articles, eBooks and am currently working on a new book. I currently have a private practice.
Over the years as I have gained more experience in my field, I have helped many people with a range of problems such as relationship worries, stress and anxiety, bereavements, communication skills, anger management. I have very often seen both fear and love.
I myself have alot of life experience which contributes to my empathy and understanding of people. I have faced challenges, made mistakes and achieved goals. I have failed, passed and coasted in between.
Working in various settings with people from all walks of life has led me to a keen interest in spirituality, the universe and our place in it, and, as a part of it. I am also very keen on personal development and I strongly belive that we all have the ability to know ourselves and to recognise, and embrace, our self worth.
In my work I place a strong emphasis on enabling people to develop their self awareness.
I believe that life offers us constant opportunities to increase our self awarenes - that is, to learn to know our "self" - through the challenges that we face as we encounter different life experiences.
I have seen time and again that by learning to truly know your "self" you can gain the psychological, and emotional tools to call on when life throws challenges.
By getting to know how you as an individual, think, behave and respond to your world, you can then decide what is helpful for you, and what is really not working. Old patterns that used to work but no longer do, can be set aside and you can consider new ways to live your life.
I hope you enjoy the website. There are some worksheets for you to download and interesting books. If you would like to be kept up to date with my articles and writing please sign up for the newsletter. Please do get in touch if you would like to add any recommendations.
With love and with care

Blog Snippets
If we are lucky when we are growing up, we are given the opportunity to enjoy many forms of entertainment. There are television programs, dramas, films. DVDs, digital games books etc.
Often these are highly suspenseful, keeping us on our toes and wondering or controlling what will happen next.
One of the fundamental themes that runs through many of these games is the concept of Good versus Evil, The baddies and the goodies.
Grieving Someone You didn't get Along With
I was working with a client one time, and we were looking at bereavement.
He was struggling to get over the death of a relative who had at times treated him horrendously; at others caring, nurturing and extremely kind.

Panic attacks - You are not alone!
In my therapy practice I see many clients who are suffering panic attacks.
On a personal level I have also suffered panic attacks in the past. I am completely free of them now, but I can remember how debilitating they can be.
A certain amount of stress can be part of everyday life. We all have times where we worry about some perceived stressful event, such as speaking in public or an upcoming job interview.
However sometimes that stress.....read more
