I have been a qualified counsellor since 2018 and hold a bachelors degree in counselling and a masters degree in HR.

In my counselling role I like to get to know my client in order to assess the presenting issue and help them work to build strategies for themselves that will help them work past the problem. I approach coaching systemically and is an extension of how I work therapeutically with clients. Understanding the impact of external influences helps me to assist the client in reaching their set goals by what barriers they may face. Collaborating of setting achievable goals and working with the student within a non therapeutic frame, offering them ways to organise their time and ways of doing research affectively and the structure of academic essays. I have had a number of clients who were students so I have experience of working with this demographic and as a former university alumni who started his university journey at 35. I have experience of being an older student and understand what is required at university level.
