I have worked at Western Counselling for over 18 years  and always find it very rewarding to support all of our clients as they progress through the programme.

As a previous service user who started my own recovery with Western Counselling, I take great pride in trying to relate to and identify with our clients in order to best support them in their own journeys. Creating a compassionate and understanding environment as part of a team is my favourite part of my role as a Support Worker, and I enjoy seeing our clients grow and succeed during their time in treatment with us.
