Presenter

Libby Webber

I am an NCS-accredited counsellor in private practice in Portsmouth, Hampshire, where one of my specialisms is working with people living with disability. Before training as a therapist, I spent 20 years working as a producer in radio and television, in both disability-specific and mainstream programmes. I originally studied social anthropology with a special interest in the experience of stigmatised or marginalised communities.
