Tailored Therapy for Your Unique Journey
Often people want change but aren’t sure how to do it by themselves. I offer one to one therapy to individuals looking to share their personal struggles and experiences in a supportive environment that is guided by a professional therapist. I offer face to face sessions in Hartlepool, as well as online and via telephone. I recognise every human being is unique and the concerns that bring a person to therapy are as wide and varied as the individual. Therefore, therapy will be tailored to meet your specific needs.
