New Year - same difficulties? Looking to make a change, but not sure where to begin? Just need someone to talk to? Feeling anxious, self-harming, having panic attacks? Are some of the other people in your life causing you concern? Whatever your reason for having clicked on this link, I would like to try and help you.
My name is Annie and I can provide you with a safe place to talk and be heard. I will listen and hear you; and would like to help you figure out a way to make your life better. I am a fully qualified, person-centred counsellor, which means that you decide what you want to bring to each session, and we move forward together from that point.
I am not here to judge; my focus is on being able to build a genuine relationship in which you feel comfortable enough to explore who you are. I have worked with adults, young people and children from a variety of different backgrounds and with a rainbow of individual needs. I hope to be able to meet with you soon.
