About me and my therapy practice
I offer a safe, supportive space for Individuals &Couples to talk confidentially about issues that are troubling or causing them pain & distress. It’s not always easy to talk openly & honestly about difficult issues, my aim is to offer a warm, trusting & respectful relationship which enables this to happen. Within our counselling relationship we build a framework in which you can begin to feel empowered & in turn helps you to change, grow, heal & regain control of your life & relationships.
