About Me
I have experience in helping people explore and come to terms with many issues:low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, loss, self-harming behaviour, sexual identity and coming out, stress, and making life choices.
You may feel that these words do not describe the issues you are facing in your life. I approach each person as a unique individual with a complex and particular history and work from this starting point with your feelings of unhappiness or dissatisfaction.
In helping clients to gain insight around their issues and to make changes, I have worked with people of different sexual orientation, of all age groups and from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
