I have particular areas of focus in the following;
- Loss and Bereavement
- Anger Management
- Attachment issues
- Identity
- Anxiety & Depression
As a qualified primary teacher I have seen many emotional issues and trauma develop in early childhood which, if left unresolved can have a huge impact in later life. I have also been a counsellor for Place2Be, the school based children’s counselling service focusing on play therapy. An area of specialism is bereavement having supported CYP at Cruse since 2016.
As a counsellor in a university setting I have been able to support young people who have moved away from home often for the first time, and who may struggle with their identity, with forming friendships, the pressure of studying independently and with their mental health.
