BIO
I am dedicated to making a real difference in people's lives, utilizing cutting edge counselling approaches tailored to each individual. I am constantly building on my skills and knowledge in the field of mental health and trauma so I can provide the most effective results for my clients. I am determined to get my clients the outcome they desire and this is my absolute top priority. I have been working and volunteering in the helping field since 2003, supporting survivors of trauma, PTSD and other physical, and mental health issues. Although I specialize in treating trauma, clients seek my unique approach to counselling for many other issues (see Counselling page).
