Email meAbout me
Hello,
I work with people addressing a wide variety of issues including Bereavement, Depression, loneliness, Anxiety, Relationships, Abuse and the impact these have on day to day life.
I have seen many people who experience anxiety, relationship issues, depression and panic disorder really benefit from the counselling process. It changes people’s lives for the better.
Talking to and sharing ideas with someone who listens without judging can help you gain confidence, develop a better understanding of you as a person and learn about what you want from your life.
My thorough initial training and years of continued professional development enables me to work with people on an individual basis to suit each person’s needs.
Here you can talk in a safe confidential space and explore your thoughts and feelings.
Where I work
I have a succesful practice in Findon Valley near Worthing-free parking and a bus stop opposite.
