Professional counselling service offering one-to-one confidential therapy sessions.

BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) Registered Counsellor.

I offer a warm and supportive counselling service with a view to helping people disentangle and understand their feelings in order that they may progress to a place whereby their emotions don't overwhelm them and they can then move forward in their emotions, and therefore, their life.

I offer counselling sessions whereby a client feels supported, accepted and valued, without fear of being judged or dismissed. I greatly appreciate the individuality of each client and work with them and their life story/feelings/issues with this outlook.
