Specialisation
I specialise in client behavioural change, with an emphasis on helping my clients improve their overall health and well-being through the development of a rational mindset as well as achieving a balance in their mental, emotional and physical functioning.

Aim

Therefore, a relationship between the client and myself which is built on ease, trust and confidentiality is important and key to the delivery of a successful therapeutic outcome.
