I’m a qualified Person-Centred Therapist. Most importantly I facilitate change in people’s lives. I support my clients in exploring their thoughts and feelings in a confidential safe space. Chris has spent the past few years working with clients who have received a Cancer diagnosis, and, in some cases, the diagnosis has sadly been terminal. I have supported the client, along with their close family members, come to terms with the shock by exploring their thoughts, fears and feelings. I have worked closely with clients who have struggled with their mental health, including stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, alcohol addiction and dementia. Therapy can initially be painful but together, we can work through that pain leading to growth and change. You will be astounded of how capable you are to explore parts of yourself you never knew existed.
