Anxiety

Alison qualified as an Occupational Therapist in 2001 and since this time she has worked in a variety of health fields.

After having had 27 years of experience offering emotional support in various areas of voluntary work, I decided to stop and retrain in the Human Givens approach.

As a fully qualified and experienced Human Givens psychotherapist I am passionate about helping people transform emotional distress. I will quickly help you achieve lasting relief from anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, pain, traumatic experiences, phobias and compulsive behaviours.

My training in the Human Givens approach enables me to see a wide selection of clients.

I have more than 20 years’ experience with a variety of people in a wide range of environments, these include Education, Community, Youth Justice and Mental Health Services.

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.

After a successful career in financial services and a break to bring up my children (one of which has special needs) I chose to retrain as a Human Givens Therapist.

I treat clients with a broad spectrum of challenges, from anxiety and depression to phobias and trauma, helping them to take control of their lives and get their emotional health back on track.

I am a former Senior Director of a large software company. I am now a professional coach and psychotherapist who loves helping people resolve problems that are holding them back. I work on the basis that taking one small positive step often leads to much greater change that can transform lives. I work with a range of issues from people having a mid life crisis to helping teenagers and students with exam anxiety.

Thirty years ago I joined St. Leonard's Hospice as a volunteer befriender. It was the start, of my career in counseling and psychotherapy.
