My approach is 'you-centred,' to speak your language, tune into the approach that works for you, your nature and the challenges at hand. I want you to feel safe, genuinely cared about and that you have my full support. As this kind of work is so personal, I offer a ten minute phone conversation at no charge so you can see if we would work well together. Facing life when it's hard can be overwhelming, painful and serious. So, if we get the chance, laughter when possible. Let's team up to get your life back.
