Ariadne's Thread Counselling: In 1985 I qualified a as Social Worker (CQSW), working in local authority generic social work. Much of my specialism was in diversion to custody with young people and in child protection. I was a level three worker and authorized under the Mental Health Act (1983)In 2018 I qualified as a Gestalt therapist. In addition to placement training work, (in a school academy). After qualifying, I worked then one day a week with CAMHS in Southampton. I did some paid work for a small local authority youth service project called Unicorn Counselling, counseling 14 – 21-year-old clients with neurodiversity (ADHD, ASD, COD dyslexia dyspraxia) many of whom suffered from acute stress, anxiety, and depression.I have worked as a mentor (again in neurodiversity) for First Class Support, with university students. I have also recently qualified as a life coach.My private practice is called Ariadne’s Thread and based in Dawlish on the South Coast.
