Are you experiencing difficulties in your relationship(s)? Are you feeling confused and wanting some clarity? Are you wanting to change some behaviours, but don’t know how or where to begin? Are you feeling angry, sad, lonely or overwhelmed, finding it difficult to get through the day? Perhaps you’ve answered yes to one or some of these questions. If so, it might be time to talk to a professional Counsellor in a safe and comfortable environment where you can fully explore what’s going on for you, and begin to facilitate change, at a pace that feels right for you. I offer short and long term Counselling to Couples and Individuals.
I’ve been working as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist for over 18 years. My areas of speciality include Relationship / Marriage Counselling; Addiction (pornography, sex, drug and alcohol); Anxiety and Depression; Grief Counselling; Sexual Health. I place a great deal of emphasis on safety and confidentiality, so that you can feel easier sharing your story.
Sometimes admitting we need help is the biggest obstacle. Once we’ve made that first step, and reached out, we can feel a great sense of relief. It can be confusing knowing what to look for when seeking professional help. I work hard to put clients at ease, to make the session feel as normal as possible. I use humour where appropriate, always respectfully.
