About me
I specialise in working with teenagers and children. I can offer face to face sessions or alternatively for teenagers I can offer online or telephone sessions.
I am also a clinical supervisor for other counsellors supporting their work and providing helpful feedback.
Counselling is confidential and it provides a safe and non-judgemental place to share how you are feeling. It offers therapeutic support and enables the individual to explore and gain a greater understanding of themselves, learning new coping skills and strategies and to move forward in a positive way.
