About me and my therapy practice

Sometimes coping with life can become difficult because situations may lead us along a pathway into crisis. We may find it hard to understand our own behaviours, thoughts and emotions, as well as those of others. Coping may not be easy if you feel alone and it may be difficult to talk over issues with family and friends. I can help you understand how to find solutions that will enable you to deal with situations and will empower you, leading to improvement in your emotional and psychological wellbeing.
