Can I help you?
Adult or Adolescent…
Choosing the right psychologist, therapist or counsellor is an important decision for you or your child. You want someone who is caring and supportive but also someone that understands what makes you tick & why you do what you do. Someone who can offer you assistance, assessment or treatment based on the latest research or best practice.
Finding a therapist that you connect with is also really important. Please look over the next few pages and consider whether you think I’d be suitable for your particular issue. If you need further information please don’t hesitate to call me to discuss or follow my links to find other therapists.
