I am interested in exploring anything you wish to bring. I have worked with so many different issues: family conflict, relationship issues, spirituality, self-harm...... Change and healing will come through the quality of the relationship we establish. We can set goals, we can review regularly. We can work at your pace and in a way that you find comfortable, and we can talk about how we do this.

I am person-centred in my approach and therefore mostly interested in building a trusted relationship with you through which we can explore your feelings, your despair, your confusion - anything. We can talk about the things you've tried and what you might like to do differently. I won't judge, I'll sit alongside you. We will find that light on the horizon and head towards it together.
