I am a Person Centred Counsellor and Emotion Focused Therapist with an Honours Degree in Psychology. I also have a Post Graduate Certificate in Autism and Asperger Syndrome.  I can help you to work through your difficulties in a non-judgemental way and offer you a space to be heard and feel supported within a collaborative therapeutic relationship.  Sometimes, life throws us some challenges that we are able to take in our stride. However, sometimes life can throw us challenge after challenge and what we feel we would normally be able to cope with (if we took each individual challenge on their own) becomes overwhelming. Things like relationship difficulties, parenting stress, loss/bereavement, trauma and low mood can all take its toll. I can help hold and facilitate change with an empathic, understanding and accepting approach at a pace that's right for you.
