Addiction

I originally trained in biological science before becoming a medical doctor in 1990.

With a practice in central London and rural Suffolk, I have extensive lifelong experience of supporting those suffering with poor mental health including the most severe conditions.

Worked 30 years for the HSE Ireland and 15 years as a Clinical Nurse Specialist/Counsellor for patients with mental health issues and addictions.

I was very privileged to work for 13 years in Torfaen & Blaenau Gwent MIND as the Counselling Service Manager / Counsellor / HG Therapist and have extensive experience in counselling people in emotional distress.

Valerie has extensive work experience with a global company which is a public service provider. Its mission is to deliver services which positively transform people’s lives and their communities.

Experienced with addictions, eating disorders, and trauma.  I have a private practice in a dedicated, multi-disciplinary holistic clinic for clients in Leinster or Munster.

I work with organisations as well as individuals in managing stress and developing healthy, motivated staff.
