Email meAbout me
Living in this ever changing complex world can result in experiences that we are unable to cope with. Bottling up intense feelings such as, anxiety and grief can become exhausting, so finding the counsellor and psychotherapist who is able to connect and explore your dilemmas can be fearful.
As a qualified counsellor, psychotherapist and clinical supervisor with experience of working with adults, young people and children with a variety of issues, I offer a safe and confidential space where together we can work through these dilemmas in a accepting and non-judgemental way; this will allow for the opportunity of change to take place.
