About me

Please note, I am currently at capacity and operating a waiting list for September starts. Thank you.

I speak to adults and young people who want to better their situation. Sometimes we may feel so low that we lose hope, but a qualified counsellor will enable you to find solutions you didn’t know existed. I am a qualified integrative and humanistic counsellor, and also offer elements of other modern therapies. Let’s have a chat and see how we get on with each other.
