About me
Silence can be difficult... its good to talk. I welcome you in a non-judgmental, safe space to express your fears, worries, and stresses, to disclose issues which may leave you unsure which way to turn. I would like to help you gain some clarity, and work towards effecting change. In the aftermath of significant life-altering events or shocks, counselling can offer you a structured avenue to unravel the complexities of your personal situation. You may have never experienced being truly yourself and voicing aloud what is causing you confusion and pain. Talking issues through with me can be a first step.
I welcome issues including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, sexual abuse and rape, relationship issues, men's mental health, grief and loss, anything which is making life difficult for you to navigate. If it is important to you, or is making life seem difficult, then it is important to me.
I know life can throw you a curve ball sometimes - shame, fear, embarrassment and confusion can prevent you from seeking a safe place to explore how to overcome issues which you are facing. I am here to walk this journey with you and help you uncover your own hidden abilities to move forward.
