About me and my therapy practice
As a person-centered counselor, my approach is grounded in empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness. I hope to create a non-judgmental space, allowing clients to explore their feelings and thoughts at their own pace. My focus is on understanding each clients unique perspective, fostering self-discovery, and promoting personal growth through reflective listening and empathy.

Experienced and empathetic counsellor dedicated to providing a safe space for individuals facing life’s challenges. Specialising in addiction, substance misuse , anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I use a client-centered approach to foster self-discovery and personal growth. Your journey is unique, and I’m here to provide guidance and encouragement every step of the way towards healing and resilience.My first session
