When you're ready to begin counselling it's important to find a therapist that you feel comfortable with. I offer initial appointments where we will explore your needs, reasons for seeking help and what you hope to gain from counselling. During this time I will ask you questions, explain the process and answer any questions that you might have. Giving you a chance to get a feel for the work and me, so you can decide if you're comfortable to continue.Qualifications & Training
