(Please note for speed of reply, emails are sent to our admin team) I try to make therapy as accessible and easy going as possible. I believe that everyone has the right to have a rich and meaningful life and through therapy I hope to provide clients with the space and skills to access their own inner resources as well as build meaningful relationships. I have over ten years experience and engage in continuous learning to ensure I am able to provide people with the best possible therapy.
