In one way or another, mental health problems will affect almost everyone at some point in their lives. Over several decades, I’ve had the privilege to help all sorts of people, diverse in so many ways and all individual. From homeless people to Police and Civil Servants, Musicians, Builders, Chief Executives, Students, Teachers and Shopworkers.
I work really hard for my clients. I believe in their ability to recover and in my ability to help them on that journey. I have a warm and compassionate approach and a great track record. I know from my own family experience how important it is to feel listened to and for things to get better.
