About me and my practice

I warm plain speaking and consider myself to be a down to earth person! I understand life can be difficult at times, so I like to take a practical approach to encourage clients to look at situations from different perspectives.

I offer a flexible approach, using an Integrative and holistic approach. Using other interventions such as CBT when necessary.

I understand finding a counsellor can be a difficult if not a daunting process..

Initially people are quite nervous as they do not know what to expect, so I start with a brief chat to address some of your questions and concerns and we take things from there.
