BLUE LIGHT WORKERS
I have also worked as a counsellor for Mind’s Blue Light Service, providing counselling for members of the emergency services. As a former NHS worker, I understand the demands and stresses our emergency service personnel face day to day, both in their work and in their personal lives. Working during Covid-19 has produced challenges and perhaps amplified other problems or worries. To pay it forward, I am offering a discounted rate for counselling sessions to members of the emergency services for both individual and couples therapy. If you are an emergency service worker and you are interested in getting support and help, please do get in touch. Sessions will be provided via online video conferencing or by telephone. This means that even if you do not live in my area you can still avail of the discounted sessions. If you need professional support during this time, do get in touch.
