About
Compassionate, trauma-informed integrative counsellor with over four years of experience in specialist alcohol and substance misuse services and a bereavement service, where I have helped clients with other mental health issues: anxiety, stress, depression and self esteem. I bring both professional expertise and the insight of lived experience as a survivor of alcohol and substance misuse, giving me a deep understanding of the recovery journey and loss and the challenges clients face. Skilled in delivering focused, outcome-based short-term interventions, risk assessment, and safety planning.
Committed to inclusive, culturally sensitive practice within LGBTQ+ and diverse communities.
