I believe that we are a product of our pasts but that does not define who we are today. With belief in our capacity to change, and integration of mind and body I will support you to live the life you want today. I will endevour to work openly, truthfully and consistantly with you to overcome the problems that you are experiancing, to find easier ways of coping so you can ultimatly live a satisfying fulfilling life. I also offer Auricular Acupuncture & Reiki which can be combined with counselling, each other or alone. These both help release painful emotions indirectly, and mentally prepare you for counselling.
I'm passionate about offering high quality & affordable support. I'm experianced in working with those effected by Addiction and Domestic Violence & recognise that you & your circumstances are unique & will treat you so. Auricular Acupuncture treats mental and physical withdrawal syptoms when reducing alcohol, drugs (illegal & prescription), sugar, caffiene.
I am commited to listening to your experiances & what it is like to be you, without judgement. I don't believe that 'one size fits all' and like to 'think outside the box' working creativly with YOU at YOUR pace to enable YOU to take back YOUR life. As a person I am caring, pragmatic & realistic & I really do believe in YOU.
