When I can support you
I offer face-to-face, online and telephone counselling for adults and young people aged 18+. I hold in person sessions in my clinic in Leamington Spa, and offer both daytime and evening appointments (subject to availability).
There may be times when you’re seeking support for mental health issues I don’t work with, when I don’t have appointment availability, or when you’re seeking crisis support. In these cases, I will always try to provide details of other mental health support options.
