About me

Hello, welcome and thank you for spending a moment of your time taking a closer look at my profile.

What you are going through right now? How is this affecting your day to day life? Why have you carried this for so long? When is the right time to start looking at that carried burden? Where is the weight of all that you are carrying being felt?

Let's discuss your situation find the benefit, talking to a confidential safe stranger online or face to face, could provide you?

The ability to speak freely without fear of receiving any kind of judgement, is liberating. Just talking with anyone, friends or family will immediately help ease discomfort and anguish, however when talking to friends or family sometimes the things we really want to say or need to say, can't be said.

Sometimes voicing all the thoughts we hold within us often only succeeds in bringing extra fear, we hold onto the idea that we shouldn't be as open when talking to family and/or friends, as we would be or could be if we were just speaking to ourselves, maybe looking at our own reflection?

What would it be like if you had someone in which you could discuss anything with, without worry that we must keep this thought locked down because it isn't 'normal'. Knowing that this person in front of me is here only for me, to help me unburden myself from the weight of everything I have been carrying, to help find the relief and ease my daily life.

Talking is good, Let us together, see what you can achieve for your future.

That is who I can be, someone who is there to hear you unreservedly, without judgement, allow me to be that reflection of you, to provide a comfortable, supportive and confidential space.

Who am I? I am someone who has believed and stand by what Yoda said "DO, OR DO NOT. THERE IS NO TRY", it doesn't matter whether there is success, it only matters that a thing is being done and when a thing is done. Learning always follows, that learning then builds success.

If your sole focus is success, you will fail but a constant fear of failure, you'll never succeed.

I am not religious nor do I think of myself as spiritual but I do believe that within everything there is a balance, it is only when a person starts to 'do' instead of just 'trying', that the balance can be found, Thomas Edison is alleged to have said that there was 999 times of learning how to 'not' make a light bulb.

Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
