“I have had a wonderful career helping people move closer to peace in their lives, may it be a peaceful moment where the kids are sitting down at the dinner table, or a moment of still confidence in your own worth. It became clear to me that counselling is a service that allows change to move from being something daunting and painful to something clear, focused and attainable.”
