Using my expertise can help you find different ways of responding to the problems in your work place. I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, in my work together with a person-centered approach that will help you feel listened to appreciatively. I have also developed a personal and unique method of working and thinking that has a powerful effect on combating the challenging feelings and behaviour caused by work place stress.
I work with many clients seeking help, from employees self-referring to working with employees referred from their places of work.
I have experience of dealing with commercial enterprises, not for profit organisations, banks and building societies, insurance companies, major retail outlets and super-markets , the NHS, schools and charitable organisations. This depth and breadth of experience means that I have extensive knowledge as to their workings, their employee practices, HR and disciplinary practices. Clients include employees, managers and directors, teachers, head teachers, nurses, doctors, social workers and lawyers.
