Counselling

Hello and welcome, if you’re visiting my site because you’re struggling emotionally and looking for help, then be assured that I am here to support you with whatever difficulties you are going through.

Depressed? Anxious? Stressed? Disliking yourself? Struggling to overcome the impact of past events? Grieving? Relationship problems?

All these things and more can follow you like a dark cloud, stopping you from enjoying life and making the most of each day.
