Profile
I offer counselling and specialise in addiction counselling (drugs, alcohol, gambling or food/eating disorders). I'm a person-centered trained counsellor, and so offering empathic, non- judgemental support and understanding is of the utmost importance to me. I have had personal experience of this cunning, baffling illness, and I know that recovery is possible. The family and people close to the person are often affected by the illness too, and I offer support to them as well. My approach to addiction is very different to many approaches, and you won't hear me asking "Why don't you just pull yourself together?"

Further Information
Many of us have our hair washed or cut or coloured or styled on a regular basis. We go to the beauty salon every so often, we update our wardrobes every season. The result is that we usually look good on the outside, but what about the inside? How long does the "fix" last for? What do we do to get our "oil change" in the inside? - our emotional side? Left neglected, the little things become like the stone in our shoe. Having 1-1 counselling is probably one of the most worth-while investments you can make in yourself. You can learn some useful life skills in addition to the ones you already have, and it's not just yourself who benefits.
