I have over 10 years experience working with a wide range of people from the ages of 16 to 90+ within the mental health field including addiction.  During this time I have supported people in overcoming; trauma, difficulties relating to various forms of anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, sleep difficulties and depression.  I have helped people increase their confidence and self-esteem, empowered them to make positive changes to their lives and supported them in facing situations they once avoided.
