About me and my therapy practice
I embrace each clients uniqueness with acceptance and without judgement. My approach is warm, empathic and caring, allowing you to explore overwhelming emotions in a safe environment, thus, helping you to make positive changes to live a more meaningful life.
I am a member of the BACP who has regular supervision and continuing professional development.
I hold an enhanced DBS which is updated annually and I am fully insured.
