Counselling is about change and growth – becoming the person you want to be so that you can live your life to your full potential – without anxiety, depression, negative beliefs, anger or whatever it is that is limiting you. I am committed to providing counselling in a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental environment. It is really important that you get the help that you need from a therapist that is right for you. The most important thing for you is to feel listened to and supported in a way that you need and ultimately to resolve any issues that may prevent you from living a fulfilling life.

Could you be suffering from Anxiety and Stress?
Stress affects us all at some point in our lives. But while some stress can be healthy, too much stress can wear you down and make you sick, both mentally and physically. Constant stress can cause or aggravate health problems. Anxiety can happen for a wide variety of reasons or may seem to pop up out of nowhere. In this case where the cause is not clear to you, talking to a therapist who is more familiar with common triggers of anxiety may be helpful.
