PLEASE NOTE:

While I do regularly work with clients in “individual counselling” on problems and difficulties concerning their relationships and families, I do not offer on-going couple/ marital/ family counselling. If you need this type of specialised counselling, I am able to refer you to experienced psychologists who have specialised in this field.

I also only work with adults, as I do not have play therapy facilities. I can, however, assist with referral to reputable and experienced psychologists who work with younger children.
