Dip Counselling PMNZAC

 

Barry has a varied career which includes working with street kids in Christchurch, the commercial forestry sector, river bank restoration, testing for the New Zealand Aids Foundation and now counselling. ​ My training is in person-centred counselling where I walk alongside you through your times of difficulty helping you to better understand yourself. I have three adult children, have been through separation and divorce, and came out later in life. I am a great fan of men's groups where men support men to be better men, co-founded a gay men's group and co-facilitated the Mensline support group held at the Mens centre.

 

My interests seem to be heading toward working with grief and trauma and helping men through those challenging change times in life.
