About me
I offer counselling for individuals and couples in South Bristol and online and I work with a wide variety of issues including relationship issues, low self-esteem, depression and anxiety.
Whatever your needs, I understand how important it is for you to be heard. Whether you are looking for counselling as an individual or as part of a couple, I will treat whatever you bring with the respect and seriousness it deserves by providing you with a safe space to explore your feelings without judgement.
I also have appropriate training and experience of working with traumatic experiences such as sexual or domestic abuse.
My counselling service is based on Somerset Road in Knowle, Bristol which is easily accessible by public transport.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I am currently conducting all sessions via webcam. I hope to return to meeting with clients in person once the requirement to wear masks in confined spaces has been relaxed.
