If you are here you are likely in some distress. Your pain and your struggles matter, and I am glad you are seeking support.

Working collaboratively, we would explore what is bothering you. I offer a safe, warm and non-judgemental space in which you can talk and gain some understanding about what is going on for you. This way of working can help you to feel better and support you to move towards the life you want for yourself. I believe strongly that you are best placed to understand what it is you need, and that together we can help you to gain clarity and begin the healing process.
