I have been practising counselling and psychotherapy since 2001 and after working in various organisations, began my own private practice - Therapeutic Counselling. Having worked with people from all walks of life with a wide diversity of personal issues and emotional difficulties, I am very aware of how hard it can be to take the first step and seek help. Making the decision to begin Counselling and finding the right therapist to work with can feel daunting.....you may wonder whether you really need therapy or how it can help you.
