My clients come from all walks of life and I treat all of my clients as equal, irrespective of age, gender, sexuality, cultural background, religious beliefs, financial status or nationality.

I don't provide or specialise in Couples Counselling, Systemic Family Therapy, Group Therapy, Addiction Counselling or CBT.  However, I can make a referral to an appropriate service if you require help in these areas.
