COUNSELLING children, teens, adults and couples

What are you going through? Let’s work together, explore options, take those initial steps towards recovery, resolution and health.

I mix anecdotes and counselling experience with research and a skills-based approach blending it all to help you build your own ‘toolbox’ of skills to help you navigate your journey in life.

In response to COVID 19 I have modified counselling, workshops and consulting services to be delivered in a secure online format. I am happy to consult with you about how I can support you while maintaining social distance.
