Counselling/Therapy Services

My aim as a therapist is to increase people’s own understanding of their difficulties and to support them in developing the skills and tools to live a life of meaning. I am a non-judgmental, warm, and highly empathic clinician. My therapeutic approach is holistic, client-centered, and strength-based.  I focus on each person’s individual needs, whilst drawing on evidence-based models of therapy to bring about positive change. I offer both short and long term therapy depending on the needs of those whom I work with.
