Adv Dip CFT​

I help couples and individuals to overcome personal obstacles, improve their relationships, change the way they think and find peace and contentment even when in difficult circumstances. I have learned to do this in my own life and marriage. I gained an Advanced Diploma in Christian and Family Counselling from A.I.F.C in 2007. I have been helping people regularly with issues like anger management, handling grief, building self-esteem, anxiety and depression, relationship problems and addictions. I have also helped clients who have experienced road accident trauma. As a Christian counsellor I help clients to draw upon their faith and bible teaching to help them add and extra dimension to their emotional and mental wellbeing.
