The counselling & psychotherapy I offer can help in the following ways:

Areas of practice

I have worked with a broad range of areas of practice including long-term mental distress, men who have committed serious offences, men in general and with a community counselling agency with people concerned about serious physical illness, long-term depression, relationship issues, anger issues, trauma and more. I find each individual brings unique concerns even if there are common names for types of experience or concerns.
