You followed the plan and it didn't work out. Perhaps you threw out the plan and now regret it or was never given a plan to begin with and life just happened! Regardless how you got here the one thing that is certain, is that something needs to change. The good news is you are not alone, there is always something that can be done. This situation and these feelings will not last forever and you have taken the first courageous step towards changing your course. As a degree qualified and registered counsellor with a background in psychology, I can help you with the next steps.

With 20 years' experience in many areas including neurodivergence (autism/adhd/audhd), trauma, relationship issues, domestic violence, anger, general mental health and child and adolescent behaviour, I work from an eclectic and strength based perspective. As a certified ADHD & ASD clinician I also value and promote neurodivergent affirming approaches.

Life can be hard. Whilst counselling can never promise to solve your problems or remove challenges, it can give you clarity and coping skills to approach matters from a different angle in a safe and nurturing environment. This might help achieve a different outcome. Let's have a chat to see if together we can get you to the life you want to live.

Bernice is an amazing supervisor. She is calm, supportive knowledgeable and encouraging. This makes doing the 'work' in supervision not only easier, but also much more enjoyable. I can thoroughly recommend Bernice to any therapist seeking supervision.
