ABOUT ME
For a number of years, I worked as a counsellor for a local charity in Hastings, offering short term therapy. Alongside my private practice, I am working with another Hastings-based organisation which provides a whole range of creative and supportive services for young people in the area. My main role within this service has been providing counselling via GP referrals and within local schools.
For the majority of my training, I volunteered as a counsellor for an organisation in Brighton, supporting people who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. I provide LGBTQ+ affirmative counselling and I hold a personal interest in working within these communities. I hold some experience and training in working with gender diversity and exploring sexuality.
Some of the other issues I have some experience in working with include:
-
low self-esteem

loss of identity
