Specific experience and training
My experience has been deepened by clients who have presented with varied issues and problems including transgendered clients who are questioning their journey, enjoying their journey and completed their journey and of course their spouses who come for couples counselling throughout transition.
I also have gay and lesbian clients, again who may be unsure of their sexuality and just need someone who is non judgemental to listen without prejudice to their fears and anxieties and their hopes for the future.
My work brings me into contact with couples who live a very different lifestyle to the 'norm': those who prefer an open relationship, a polyamorous one and some clients who prefer a celibate life.
My client work includes: abuse, addiction,anxiety, bereavement, bullying, depression, eating disorders, emotional abuse, gender or identity issues, low self esteem/confidence, relationship issues, sexual abuse, sexuality, stress, trauma and various work related issues.
