I work with clients who deal with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. In our first few sessions, we will work together to explore the problems and develop a plan to tackle them. The aim is to help you regain control of your life. The majority of my clients observe a gradual reduction in symptoms within the first month, followed by a sustained improvement thereafter.
