  • What to expect - On first contact we can talk about what you would like to get out of our sessions together, you may not know yet but we can explore ideas. This is a free initial chat. We can then agree on a regular meeting day and time. We can discuss your preferred format - face to face- telephone or online zoom. Once this is agreed I will send you a working agreement for your approval.

    How I work - I like to work collaboratively so that we explore together, reflect on what might be happening in your life and if agree ways for you to build resilience, create strategies and move forward in your life. When we know who we are, we can see where we’re going.
