Christel Owen
About me
I offer affordable counselling to those who are unable to cope with life for various reasons, are depressed, anxious or confused, suffer from low self-esteem, having difficulty relating to others, dissatisfied with work, marriage or lifestyle, worried about children or family members, struggling with life in general, suffered mental, physical, emotional, spiritual or sexual abuse including trauma.
I also provide counselling for marriage in crisis. My job is to offer a service that might highlight your weaknesses without any judgement and help you to strengthen them in order to take you to another level.
