Hello there, I am a qualified counsellor and work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse. I Work in a person-centred way, which basically means I will provide you with a confidential safe place to explore your issues or worries in a warm, genuine and non-judgemental way, no matter how big or small they may seem.

I will listen to you empathically and will be interactive in our work together. However, I will not give you advice or tell you what to do, as I believe that you are the expert on your own life or situation and you have the ability and resources within yourself to make your own decisions, or to come to your own solutions.
