Issues I work with include: Abuse, ADHD, Anxiety, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Depression (please see below for other issues I work with).
I provide face-to-face, walk and talk (depending on location) and online sessions. I offer a compassionate and warm space where you can share without fear of judgement. Maybe you've gotten to a point in your life where what worked for you before is no longer working. Or maybe you can no longer sense or intuit what works. Therapy can be a valuable starting point, offering a chance to revisit and untangle the complicated aspects of your life that you may have tried to suppress. It's a safe space to reconnect with yourself.
