About me and my therapy practice
My aim is to help you on your journey, wherever you are presently and where you wish your next steps to take you, at a pace and destination of your choosing. I have counselling experience in bereavement, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, and significant events in childhood and teenage years. I provide therapeutic counselling for clients from aged 11 upwards, which can be open ended in a person-centred approach, or time limited Solution Focused Brief Therapy. This is delivered in a confidential, supportive and when necessary, a challenging environment to resolving issues. I have regular supervision and have professional insurance. I have an Enhanced DBS (CRB).
I can offer discounted rates for those on low income or benefits.
