About me and my therapy practice

I am a BACP registered Person-centred counsellor and my therapy style is client focussed. I have called my practice "calm place counselling" as I feel that it is an important goal for everybody to develop an understanding of their issues and find their own sense of calm. In addition, I am a Chartered Health & Safety practitioner and have worked in this field for @30years during which time I have dealt with workplace stress, anxiety and depression. I have had a wide range of personal life experience which have enhanced my counselling practice.
