Counselling and therapy in a safe, comfortable and private setting

Life is a varied journey. It can throw a lot at us and even with friends and family to confide in sometimes we need a little more support.


Counselling can help by giving you a safe space to explore your feelings and to make sense of overwhelming emotions.

What is Counselling?

Counselling a process through which you will be helped to heal yourself. It isn't about me finding a magic solution to your problems!

It's about both of us working to help you access your own strengths, to build them up and work on putting strategies in place which you can use when you need them.


How does it work?

We'll meet at least one a week and you can decide whether you want to book a set number of sessions or leave it open-ended.
