About me and my therapy practice

I believe passionately in the counselling process but I also believe that the timing is as important as the therapy itself. When we reach the decision to seek counselling it is then that we are ready to really engage. I will make every effort to see all new clients within 3 working days of initial contact. I work with almost all types of issues accepting the client wherever they may be, with whatever they may bring and being there for them. Exploring and reflecting together will enhance the healing process encouraging self awareness and the discovery of those inner resources that we all have.
