Services
I have a wide range of counselling experience, and have an eclectic approach allowing me to choose with my client the best way of working together. I will usually aim for a short term intervention requiring no more than eight counselling sessions. These can be weekly or less or more frequently as appropriate.
I offer:
- Counselling
- Life Coaching
- Stress Management
- Counselling supervision
- IVF counselling
