Referrals also come from HR or Occupational Health Departments, from EAPs and from Insurance Companies.
Clients have also been referred by GPs and Ministers of Religion.
Corporate employers have also referred employees to me.
Organisations and Charities have requested training days.
As a Trauma Specialist , I have been asked to attend Critical Incidents to provide support.
I work part-time as an on-site counsellor for a large industrial organisation.
