What we treat
\\ Reaching out for counselling support is never easy and rarely straight forward, so great job on making it this far!! Choosing a therapist can become a task in itself, so let me get straight to the point(s) that will hopefully help you decide if I’m the right fit (or not) for you. I love what I do. I take earning your trust very seriously. I think it’s a big deal to share your thoughts, fears, worries, hopes and dreams in counselling. I work hard to listen well and to understand your experience of the world and how you would like it to be different. I’m a real person and will be clear about how I think I can help and have both professional and life experience to draw from. I won’t however, be telling you what to do, because I believe the strengths and solutions are already within you and see my job as one of working with you to help you get them out.
