I can imagine that you are going through a difficult time and want to get 'un-stuck' and feel better, but you know that you need someone to confide in that will really listen. It's so hard to find the right therapist, but you are welcome to reach out without any obligations.
I have worked in the field for 20 years and I am qualified in many therapies. This experience has given me great insight into the many difficulties individuals and families can face, however I approach every person as an individual with individual needs. I strive to be able to provide evidence based therapy in a down-to-earth manner.
With a cup of tea in hand (online therapy) or through Mindful walking (walk and talk therapy) I will be with you and allow you the space to navigate whatever difficultly that brought you to this page without any expectations or judgements.
