As a counsellor I work with people aged 18+ years and I have experience as a bereavement counsellor having worked for the Greenwich and Bexley Hospice. My previous working background was in the NHS and I have worked with adolescents, adults and older adults and I have 14 years experience of working with people with complex issues such as : *anxiety *depression *bereavement and loss *abuse (sexual, physical, mental, emotional and substance) *physical issues and degenerative disorders (dementia, cancer) *relationship issues (family, interpersonal, work) *identity issues — sexual, physical, racial, cultural, class and gender. I have found supporting people with complex issues rewarding, challenging and hope-inspiring. I have my own journey of Person-Centred Counselling so from my own experience I recognise how the process of counselling can be painful, unsettling, scary as well as empowering and life changing.
