Are you registered?
Yes, I am a licensed Wellness Counsellor with the ASCHP and a Trauma Debriefer registered with the IAOTH
By choosing a counsellor registered with a professional body you can be reassured that they have met the standards of training and experience required by that organisation. Most professional bodies will also have a Code of Ethics that outlines the way their members should work, and a complaints process to follow if things don’t work out as planned – so you know you’re in good hands.

Counselling gives an individualised opportunity to you to investigate your sentiments and discuss any issues you’re experiencing to optimise your wellness and mental health.

Each session will usually last up to 60 minutes, for both online sessions, and also in-person sessions.
