Women and personal growth 

Over the many years I have been counselling I have enjoyed working with many interesting women from diverse backgrounds as they approach various life changes. I have worked with women looking for Counselling following an important life transition such as, starting a family, women who wish to improve their self-esteem and relationships or perhaps they wish to become more assertive. Many of the women I work with want to deal with a loss such as divorce or perhaps 'empty nest syndrome'. I am happy to work with you to calmly deal with any issue you bring to therapy and help you find your own hidden resources for coping with whatever is troubling you.
