Profile

Counselling provides an opportunity for you to work towards living your life in a more fulfilling way. Within a safe environment you are able to look at specific issues around your thoughts, feelings, behaviour and experiences. It's about empowering, supporting and enabling you to find your own solutions in a way which respects your values, personal resources, and freedom of choice.

I feel passionately about my work, and am committed to making a difference to your life.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

BA (Psychology)

I have been counselling since 2001. Whilst I see clients with a wide variety of issues, one of my particular interests is domestic abuse.
