About Us
I offer psychotherapy and counselling for a wide range of issues such as depression, stress and anxiety; PTSD; traumas of childhood; bereavement and loss; relationship issues; couples counselling; low self esteem. EMDR is used for the treatment of traumas, such as Assaults, Road Traffic Accidents, Natural or man made disasters.
