About me
I am an experienced integrative counsellor specialised in all addictions, depression, anxiety and bereavement with over 30 years' experience in alcohol and drug addiction.
I work with clients with a variety of different issues including psychosexual anxiety, domestic abuse, relationships loss and bereavement. I am honoured to share the journey with my client.
