Counselling OfferedI offer more than 25 years' experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist, much of it spent in the NHS, as both a GP practice counsellor and as a clinician in the Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service. I work with individuals of all ages as well as couples and families.
I am also a qualified EMDR therapist, a treatment for trauma of all kinds. My practice is on the Hampshire / Surrey border.
I'm happy to work both on a short-term or long-term basis and as I am trained to a high standard in several therapeutic approaches, can offer appropriate help for each unique individual and situation.
