Description
Reaching out for help and guidance shows strength, and I always appreciate clients’ strength as well as their curiosity and willingness to grow. I genuinely wish for all my clients to feel safe, heard, and respected, so that the healing work can begin. My own challenging background allows me to bring meaningful depth and understanding to the counselling setting and your unique obstacles. Working from a solution-focused, narrative, or art therapy perspective, I can help guide you towards what you are seeking.
