On
qualifying I moved to France where I
have been practising for twenty-two
years, largely as a
telephone counsellor for
English-speaking clients from anywhere
in the world.

During my time in France I have suffered
much
of the frustration, anxiety,
loneliness and sadness experienced by
many people living in a foreign country
with a different culture, language, and
way of doing things, away from children,
family, friends and
colleagues. I have
undergone regular counselling in order
to help maintain my energy and
equilibrium. 
If you are feeling any of those things,
or are struggling to make decisions, are
undergoing relationship difficulties,
are feeling exhausted and lacking in
energy and enthusiasm or are
simply
looking to enjoy a quality of life that
seems to elude you, contact me to
discuss whether counselling in a safe,
secure and above all, confidential
environment, by telephone,
Skype, FaceTime, face-to-face,
or even by e-mail, could help. I do not
charge for our first session together.
Parallel to training I spent seven years
based in a multi-disciplinary Community
Mental Health team with other Mental
Health professionals. Here I gained
valuable experience in identifying
problems other than those safely helped
by counselling alone. More recently I
have worked as a hospital Social Worker
and as a Telephone Helpdesk Advisor for
Social Services where I have gained
experience working with the elderly
and those suffering from illness and
loss.
