Warm and approachable, confidential and professional.
I believe it takes courage and commitment to face the things that cause us pain. You will be met with warmth, respect and a deep valuing of your individuality. I aim to provide you with a gentle holding, safe contained space where you can explore life's difficulties without judgement.
​
I can offer an approach tailored to the individual that you are, whether that be using a sand tray, working creatively or simply talking though the difficulties that each individual can face, you will receive the therapy you need.
​
Whether you have had experience in Counselling before, dipping back in or coming for the first time it would be a privilege to accompany on your journey.

People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset
