I’ve worked with clients from all walks of life, helping them navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I know that seeking counselling can feel daunting, especially if you’ve had unhelpful experiences in the past.

Counselling is a professional service where trained individuals, known as counsellors or therapists, help people navigate and resolve personal, emotional, psychological, or behavioral issues. It involves creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where individuals can express their thoughts and feelings openly. The goal of counseling is to help clients gain insight into their challenges, develop coping strategies, and make positive changes in their lives. Counseling can address a wide range of issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and life transitions.
Your first session can be paid for securly by card when booking online via our website. Thereafter each session is paid for either via bank transfer, card payment, or by booking directly via our website. You can discuss this with your counsellor at thge end of your first session.
It is. However, it’s important to mention that occasionally there are circumstances where we cannot legally or ethically maintain confidentiality.
In order to protect you (the client) or another we may need to share information if we believe there is a serious risk of harm, wherever possible this is done with your consent and the reasons are discussed with you beforehand.
