I am a positive, conscientious, and caring counsellor with experience in offering support and guidance to adults of all ages. I have the ability to empathise with my clients and offer a safe and non-judgemental environment to explore thoughts, emotions and difficulties. I am comfortable working and communicating with people of all backgrounds and I have experience in providing support on anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), relationship and family issues, low self-esteem, loss, and a range of other issues.
