Let me begin by telling you a story … Back in 1993, a lady was put into a situation where she feared for her personal safety. She was actually very safe, in the house where she lived - but a situation led to her feeling very unsafe. This feeling took the lady to a place that ultimately opened up a huge can of worms ….

Counselling
Highly recommend, very welcoming and supportive
What do you love most about your job?
When clients leave sessions with a sense of control and empowerment, I know I have done my job. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a client grow in confidence, self belief and strength. This is what I love about my job
What inspired you to start your own business?
Having suffered with severe anxiety myself, I am aware how challenging life can seem when things aren't going the way we want them to. And the "helpful" comments from friends and family doesn't always help.
I started my business because I wanted to provide a safe, welcoming and non-judgemental place for people to come to and explore their concerns.
Why should our clients choose you?
All I would ask is that clients come to 1 appointment with me to see if we can work together. I will never ask you to make a second appointment during the initial session as I believe you should be given the time to reflect and make the decision by yourself away from the therapy room without pressure.
My reason for doing this - the first counselling session I ever had was horrible and I didn't like the counsellor. However, feeling vulnerable as I was, I felt obliged to rebook when asked to and had a couple of sessions with her before avoiding counselling for the next 2 years! I believe in working at the client's pace and the client's wants and needs.
