Discover Peace of Mind

There isn't anything you can't talk about that you should feel embarrassed by or ashamed of in our counselling sessions. I consider myself a "progressive inclusive" therapist, providing a unique non-judgmental safe space to discuss any aspect of your life, concern or struggle you may be having.  


 My approach is empathetic and relatable, drawing on many therapeutic techniques to meet your individual needs.   I provide an eclectic combination of personal, life and professional experience, with a high level of diplomacy, sense of humour and a remarkable ability to establish  rapport and trusting relationships.
