My Expert Service
|
As an experienced Counselor, Therapist and Mental Health Manager, I offer compassionate and sensitive help to enable you to address any problems or issues which are having a negative impact upon your life, in a safe and supportive environment.
Often we choose the same things over and over, because 'change' can be frightening. Or we 'choose not to choose' and remain stuck in a situation we don't like ~ but are afraid to leave. Professional Counseling can help you to identify and change those behaviours that are no longer working, and empower you to make more informed decisions and choices.
I perceive my role as assisting clients' to explore their feelings, identify issues and set achievable goals which will bring about resolution and closure.
I offer FREE EMAIL FOLLOW-UP to clients' who have had a live-chat session.
Happiness is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to deal with it.

Experience & Qualifications
|
RESIDENTIAL CARE
I have spent many years working within the care sector, particularly mental health, and have for many years owned a residential home for adults who have been diagnosed as having long-term mental health issues. These include Schizophrenia, Bipolar, Depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsion Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Korsacoffs, Alzheimers, Acquired Brain Injury, Learning Disabilities, Tourettes, Aspergers Syndrome, and Dementia.
This line of work has required me to become familiar with the symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment options, for many psychiatric problems.
I have also gained a wealth of experience in alcohol and drug misuse, aggressive and violent behaviour, mood swings, poor self-esteem, and marginalization.
COMMUNITY CARE
In addition to the above service, I am also involved in a project which offers compassionate support and counseling to the family members and friends of those who are suffering from mental illness.
PRIVATE PRACTICE.
In private practice, both in-person and on-line, I have worked with clients who are experiencing relationship difficulties (including sexual dysfunction, fetish, transgender issues, sexual exploration, infidelity, abusive and challenging behaviour, and ineffective communication), low self-esteem, repetative self-harming tendancy, isolation issues, and weight management difficulties.
PUBLICATIONS.
I am a published author in:
~ Community Care Magazine.
~ The Journal of Dementia Care.
~ Jewish Care RoundaBout.
