Free 1st appt. My private, peaceful practice offers a warm, professional & confidential space where you will feel safe to fully explore your feelings & emotions that are causing concern. If you are facing a difficulty & troubled; suffering with anxiety; distressed and/or depressed. if you are disatisfied with life or maybe without focus, If you are suffering stress from home or work the space within counselling/therapy will definately help. It will allow you to explore your thoughts & how you are responding to your experience at this difficult time. It is free from judgement & will positively help you gain a greater awareness, make sense, identify or better accept things that may be preventing you from moving forward effectively to lead a full and satisfying life. It will also help you to make any changes by exploring the difficulties that stand in your way therefore giving you some control over your life.

I am a fully qualified Counsellor, Psychotherapist & Hypnotherapist. My wealth of personal and professional experience adds to my real understanding of life's challenges.
