I had a career in the corporate world before training to become a counsellor so bring life experience to my counselling. I chose to train as a Humanistic Integrative counsellor as I believe everyone is unique and what works for one client may not work for another. You are the expert on yourself, I provide a safe space for you to explore the reasons you have chosen to come to therapy and most importantly to be heard.
