Counsellor, MBACP Accred

I have years of experience helping and supporting adults,
children

Many of us can find life difficult at times. Life has a way of knocking us down. We can feel overwhelmed, feel lonely and feel on our own with our issues. Talking to loved ones, family and friends can sometimes be daunting, whether it be, fear of rejection or fear of burdening them. We then keep it all inside, which can lead to depression, isolation and low mood. At the heart of my practice is the therapeutic relationship, based on safety and confidentiality. Giving people of all ages a compassionate, warm and friendly environment to express their issues and feel heard.
