My Work
I offer supportive and non-judgemental help and support and adapt the counselling and psychotherapy to you, because you and your needs are unique. I help you understand yourself and your situation on a deeper level which allows you to make positive and informed choices; often armed with information and insights that were previously unknown. I greatly respect the wisdom of the body as a great source of information and also for giving tools for strengthening and healing.
