Individual Counselling

As a qualified Psychotherapist and Social Worker with 20 years experience, I have successfully worked with across a broad range of issues, including providing support to those experiencing issues related to:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Social and agoraphobia
  • Chronic illness
  • Disability
  • Self esteem and sexual identity
  • Anger management
  • Addiction
  • Parenting

Clients refer their friends to me because they have experienced tangible results, and find me clear and easy to relate to.

I have the patience and expertise to successfully resolve issues that may currently seem overwhelming. Most of these issues can be sorted out given the right amount of skill and attention.

No matter who you are or how hard things seem, I will ensure you always understand the counselling process and the experience of change that results.

It’s always easier to work with something you understand fully, particularly if it is hard to deal with for short periods of time.

Please contact me to discuss your individual needs and arrange an initial consultation.
