Description

I provide individual counselling designed to support you in being able to reduce the negative impacts of substance use, and increase your quality of life.

Together we will create a safe, non-judgemental and compassionate space that promotes effective and sustainable change.  In my 20+ years of experience, the right way to make meaningful change is the way that works best for you. I'm here to work with you on finding that way.
