Welcome to my Journal

As I work with clients both in my capacity as a counsellor, as well as offering Dad’s Support Groups, I will be adding journal items here to reflect on my experiences, and hopefully help and inform clients and others with an interest in my work.

As ever, if you have anything you’re particularly interested in then I’d love to hear from you – simply contact me directly!
