I was a hospital doctor for the first 30 years of my working life but then decided I needed a new direction. After some in depth exploration, I realised that working with people who are struggling to make sense of their lives is what really interests me. I combined part-time counselling training and work for some years and then retired from the NHS in 2017 to concentrate fully on my counselling work. I live in the lovely market town of Beccles. I work with clients online, phone, and outside, as well as in the more traditional counselling room setting in the centre of Beccles.

 

My current roles:

• Private practice counsellor

• private practice supervisor

 

Past roles:

• I worked as a volunteer counsellor at the Norwich Centre for 4 years until 2017.

• I also worked as a volunteer counsellor at TimeNorfolk (the pregnancy loss charity) from 2017 until 2023.
