Anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, and bereavement are some of the different types of difficulties that clients come to counselling to explore with me.
I have knowledge and lived experience of working with clients who identify as neurodiverse.
Alongside a special interest in clients living with peri/menopausal symptoms and having recently completed a CBT course in managing menopausal symptoms through the British menopause society.
Finding the right counsellor can be an overwhelming experience. I know it can be difficult to think about asking for help outside of your friends and family, however, I firmly believe that when given the right support to explore any issues, we all have the inner strength to grow, change, and move forward.
