Email meAbout me
With over 20 years of experience I understand how hard it can be to take the first steps in finding help.
I aim to provide a safe, non-judgemental, confidential service, so that we can build trust and work together in supporting you and enabling you to get the help that you need.
We can work on a short term basis (usually 6 sessions) or on a longer term basis according to your needs.
