About me
A Caring & Confidential Counselling Service for Adults, Young People & Children.
When times are hard or confusing, it can help to talk, to be understood, and explore the difficulties you might be facing. I'll not judge you or tell you what to do, but will try to help you find your way and make sense of what is right for you. This is achieved through working together in a confidential and trusting relationship. Clients often feedback that they consider this counselling process to be a positive or even a life changing experience.
