About me
My passion for counselling – is to help bring transformational change for clients through the therapeutic relationship, based on trust.
My expertise includes Individuals and couples; Trauma; Relational issues of daily living.
When we encounter difficult times in our day to day lives it is helpful to be able to talk these through with someone who is trained and objective.
As your counsellor I will carefully listen without judgement, aiming to help you explore the issues which matter to you, bringing insight and understanding to enable you to find your way through problems and dilemmas to achieve your goals.
