About me
During the COVID-19 emergency I am offering 30 minute online counselling sessions, or just a confidential chat, free of charge. Contact me by phone or email to arrange an appointment. Sessions can take place either on Skype or Facetime.
The pressures and stresses of the current situation, whether through the lock down at home, or sudden financial difficulties, may well seriously affect our emotional and physical wellbeing, impacting on our functioning, relationships, family, work and health. Rather than bottle things up, it can really help to adapt to the unprecedented situation we face through talking to a trained counsellor.
I am trained and qualified to help you with:-
Stress, Anxiety and Depression
Self Defeating Behaviours
Self Harm
Relationship problems
Abuse
Bereavement
Call me for a confidential conversation, or send me an e-mail if you have any questions.
