What's going on for you?
Are you -Wound up, Fed up, Down?
Stuck, Lost, Overwhelmed?
Is life getting on top of you?
Are your thoughts or actions 'off' ?
Does something need to change?
Want to feel better than you currently do?
Yes? Well it's a relief you're here. You see, seeking help is a sign of strength and wisdom, not weakness nor admission something's necessarily 'wrong'.
Life sucks at times. It can be incredibly challenging and we all need a confidential safe space to drop the mask and unload our deepest stuff - a place to get real. That's where I come in. Through the creation of trust, and with the use of considered questioning, you are empowered to identify your own hope-filled solutions - solutions that sit well and resonate with you.
I seek to provide a neutral atmosphere and a fresh perspective to your issue or situation. A Bachelors Degree in Counselling coupled with vastly varied life and work experience gives me the ability to offer you this fresh perspective.
