About me

There are so many reasons why people seek counseling; for some, it may be that they are going through a particularly difficult time in their life, that may be linked to a relationship breakdown, work, illness, personal problems, or feelings of dissatisfaction with life in general. Others may be suffering from anxiety, depression, or low self esteem. Suffering from a recent or past bereavement.

Counseling, offers a place where you are able to talk about anything that is troubling you , however large or small.  Your concern may be about something that happened years ago, or you may need to talk about a particular problem in your current life. You may not even have a specific problem to bring but are aware of unsettling feelings of unhappiness or confusion.

Counselling provides you with an opportunity to work through things in your life that are causing you distress and to find more satisfying and rewarding ways of living.

I am able to offer you a safe and confidential space where you are given the freedom to express and explore difficult, confusing, painful emotions, or traumatic experiences in a professional and supportive way.
