I also work with clients navigating existential concerns, grief and loss.

Tailored Approach: Every session is uniquely designed around your specific goals and challenges, ensuring personalised and effective care.


Proven Methods: I use only evidence-based approaches, proven by research to be effective for many people, while recognising that each individual’s journey is unique.

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
