What I've been doing
Most of our success in counselling depends on the relationship we build in the room. But you also need to know a bit about me and how I came to be here.
From when I studied psychology in the 1980's I have been hunting for peace and some sense making about this world we are in. Here is some of where I have been and how I have prepared to serve you.
