I have a BA in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I work in an integrative way and use different counselling styles and modalities in my practice depending on the client's individual needs. Clients experiencing difficulties with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, sexuality issues, relationship difficulties etc can benefit from counselling.  I also work with children from the age of 12 and adolescents. Children and adolescents can present with anxiety and identity issues as well as other difficulties. When I work with minors I will have an initial intake session with the parents and will continue to involve the parents in the process and will meet regularly with them.
