I have been working with families for more than 25 years and I consider it a privilege to support people at their most difficult times.
\nThe aim of therapy is to give you a deeper understanding of the nature of the problem you are experiencing and\/or why you respond to situations in the way you do. You may discover that the solutions you employed to alleviate your distress have now become part of the problem. I aim to offer fresh insights, strategies and ideas to assist you to create change and move ahead in greater strength and confidence.<\/p>\n
