For the last few years and still currently i have been passionately working as a grief counsellor for an agency, as well as this i have been seeing people privately one day per week from my home based practice. Before training as a Counsellor i had been involved in Men's groups for a number of years. My previous background was in the trades where at 15yrs I left school and become a glazier, This work continued for 37 years of my life. Building sites became second nature to me as did working alongside other men. I got married in 1990 and have two grown up children, all of which play a huge role in shaping me into the person i am today.
