Qualified Counsellor and Personal Development Coach

I help individuals, couples and groups by using counselling, coaching and personal development techniques in a way that suits both personality and lifestyle.

To get rapid change, I use a range of supportive face to face approaches including CBT counselling, dynamic coaching and professional education to find strategies to manage changes in both personal, family and work life.

Medium to longer term person centred counselling can be given to support emotional issues for individuals who wish for more space and time to work through the anxiety of traumatic events.
