My reasons for being a counsellor are simple. Watching as people grow and seek solutions to their difficulties is an honour to witness and be a part of. Seeing people transform their lives for the better is a privilege. We all need to talk from time to time to unburden ourselves. I am dedicated to helping the client improve their wellbeing and believe that this can be achieved by building a trusting relationship in a warm environment, with a high level of professionalism. People can be secure in the knowledge that they can share their experience in confidence and be treated in a sensitive manner.

 

Everything I do is in collaboration with the client. It’s all about what they want and need, and sometimes when they first come to me, they don’t know what they need.

I specialise in working through developmental trauma and attachment-based trauma and explore how this plays out in my clients’ life moving forward.

I’m the best at what I do because I work with a very person-centred approach and success for the client is unique to each individual client.

 

To put it bluntly:

“I’m in the business of making myself redundant”.
