Clients seek a safe and confidential space where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgement. I’m here to offer that safe space, guided by my compassion and years of experience working with individuals from all walks of life. If you’re experiencing emotional difficulties, or struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, or stress, I’m here to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and offer a different perspective. Let’s work together on helping you to develop the coping strategies, and resilience, and work towards making those positive and lasting changes.
In the earlier days, I trained and worked in the field of addictions. I’ve also specialised in domestic violence and mental health training during my career too. Currently, I work with individuals from all walks of life who come to me with a wide range of mental health concerns from addictions through to anxiety and depression.
I am fundamentally a Person Centred Counsellor, I tailor sessions and treatment goals/plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I will provide a warm, compassionate, non judgemental and safe place for you to explore your concerns, emotions, behaviours and needs and we will work together to help you to find a better place to be.
