Personal Statement

I am an integrative counsellor, which means I have a tool box packed with many different skills.  I rely heavily on the person-centred approach, meaning that I am open and honest and work on creating the ideal relationship between counsellor and client, one of trust and safety.  I'm not against disclosing things about my life if I feel it could help in the therapy session.
