About me
Welcome to my Counselling Service. I absolutely love what I do, and wish I had studied to do this years ago. I love the difference I can make in some people's lives, helping them to find a better way forward for themselves. Hopefully, I can do that for you as well.
I qualified in 2018 as an Integrative Counsellor, which basically means I practice using different methods, sometimes more than one with the same client! Nobody's problems are more important than yours. We all have things going on in our lives.....I'm here to support you with yours.
My service is totally confidential, and so you can feel safe when you feel ready to open up to me. Age has no barrier here. I work with all ages. We have things that worry us no matter what age we are.
Basically, I really try to make clients feel as comfortable as I possibly can, and my room is meant to feel homely to reflect that. I will do my best to accommodate times and days as well as I am able to.
