About me

My practice
I have a deeply held belief that people don't stuff up their lives on purpose, and that we are usually doing the very best we can.
So I approach counselling with the idea that we have good reasons for what we are doing.

In my style of counselling, we do deeper work- I believe that when you treat the cause, rather than the symptoms, then often the symptoms just take care of themselves. I've seen that happen so many times.

My approach is warm, compassionate, and very calm and gentle. Also, we often laugh during my sessions.
I love it when I see people healing and growing. That's when I do my counsellor happy dance :)
