I am an integrative
counsellor and have
been working with
adults on a one-to-one
basis since 2014. Prior to this I have worked in both the corporate world and non-profit sectors and have been self-employed for eight years. During this time, I have followed my passion for being and working in the natural world and of exploring with others the human capacity to recover and grow. I am an experienced meditator, a beginner yoga practitioner and a fellow traveller in what seems an increasingly confused and divided world.
