I work with people from all different walks of life supporting them through a range of different issues these include but are not limited to grief anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation, anger management and addiction.

I work from a Person centred and trauma informed approach utilising a range of different modalities including Narrative and cognitive behavioural therapies. I have experience with addiction and mental health struggles.

If you would like support but are not sure if counselling is for you please feel free to call me, I would be more than happy to discuss what personal counselling with our service will look like and how that may benefit you.

If you are not sure counselling is for you or can support you, we can start with one session to meet and explore what support could benefit you going forward. You do not need a specific "reason" to engage in counselling sometimes just have a space that is accepting, non judgemental and confidential to talk can meet our needs.
