What is person-centred therapy?

Person-centred therapy is a gentle, non-directive approach that places you at the heart of the process. Rather than giving advice or analysing, I offer a warm, accepting space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. It’s grounded in empathy, trust, and the belief that you have the inner resources to grow and heal.

What experience do you have working with children ?

I have over 30 years experience working with children on a variety of issues including ADHD, Autism, Social anxiety, bullying and grief.
