I offer professional and confidential counselling both in-person and online. I specialise in a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, loss, self-esteem and relationship difficulties. I am your advocate and through collaboration and exploration, want to offer you the support to find what you are looking for.
How Counselling Can Help:
I work openly and honestly and at your pace, offering you psychological and wellbeing support within a safe and confidential environment. It is a space where you can talk freely and be truly heard. However difficult things might seem, there are ways we can work together to change this.
Types of Counselling Available:
As an integrative counsellor, I can offer a combination of therapies, including psychdynamic for deeper exploration, humanistic therapy which is more reflective, or goal orientated CBT. I am also experienced in creative therapy and wellbeing, so can put together a package to suit you.
I believe in possibilities and change, whether you are feeling completely stuck and want help getting out, or if you are feeling ready to explore new options and opportunities to enhance your life.
However difficult your problems appear to be, we can try to look for a solution together. If you want to make changes, there is always a way!
