ABOUT

ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME

I believe in my clients' potential to change through the science of neuroplasticity (the ability of the brain to heal by forming new connections and pathways).  I have seen the positive, life changing effects that counselling has had in client's lives.  Perhaps you are looking for ways to improve your own mental health and wellbeing or a parent wanting to help your child (7+).  Effective counselling with the right person, can help reduce anxiety and depression; increase confidence and self-esteem; and improve assertive communication.  This can, in turn, increase your ability to think, feel and perform at your best and help you reach your full potential. 

EXPERIENCE

Specialising in supporting clients who have experienced trauma and abuse, those who are feeling anxious, and autistic women (diagnosed or self-identified). Working in a gentle, caring way without judgment or criticism.
