He is able to uncover the deeper set issues that you might have, giving you an insight into how to start to combat the issues that are present now.

Peter is patient, understanding, and adaptable. There was a genuine attentiveness to what I needed in order to help me progress and I couldn’t have done my recovery progress without him.

Why should our clients choose you?
While the choice is ultimately yours, I pride myself on working closely and personally with a diverse range of personalities and backgrounds. Aged 59, my life experience has been rich and varied, giving me a unique ability to deeply understand and connect with people from all walks of life.
