I am an Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor providing Individual Therapy In-Person and Online for Children from the age of 12, Young People and Adults.

 

Considering therapy can be a significant step towards personal growth and healing. I understand that you may feel hesitant about exploring your personal struggles with a therapist. However, taking this step and having professional support can lead to meaningful change.

 

Establishing a therapeutic relationship is crucial to the ensuing therapy. Together, we will create a safe and confidential therapeutic space, allowing you to explore, let go and move forward. As your therapist, I will walk with you through this journey, ensuring you feel safe and supported at all times.

I will facilitate you in exploring your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and we will work together to give you an insight to where you find yourself in the present and what is maintaining your struggles.

 

We will empower you to make the changes you wish to make and gain personal empowerment and autonomy.
