Did you know, most counselling clients only need 4-6 sessions to get through what can seem like insurmountable problems. Counselling really just connects the dots, and helps you understand why you and your body are feeling out of sorts. Change happens quickly when you realise you are having a normal reaction to the circumstances that surround you, or that have surrounded you in the past. Let me help you make your problems a thing of the past, in a safe, confidentially, and often fun environment!
