Email meAbout me
I am Integrative counsellor, working with many different issues. Anxiety, stress, low self esteem, depression, anger management, breavement, obesity, body image, termination/miscarriage, relationship issues, Addictions, and many more. I have experience working with teenagers, adults and couples. My counselling room is a relaxing and safe enviroment. I am member of the British association for Counselling and Psychotherpy (MBACP). CRB checked.
People who come to counselling are ordinary people who are experiencing difficulties. Talking to trained counsellor is a way of understanding your life, and to take responsibility and choices of your own. I listen to what my clients are saying, for some people this is the first time anybody has listened to them. TAKE THE FIRST STEP TO MAKE POSITIVE LIFE CHANGES, MAKE THAT CALL. Personal therapy for counselling students also available. Home visits by special arrangement. http://firststepscounselling.co.uk
