Hi there! I'm a counsellor living in London,working with clients for over 10 years now. I have my own private practice helping people deal with trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem and people stuck in a moment that they can't get out of. I work with everybody. I help people with addiction to online porn, gambling etc. You will find no judgement here, I have been there,done that and got the t-shirt! You will find me someone that you can trust and someone that will have your back all the way through the journey that you are on. I use Talking therapy and CBT and whatever else you want to bring to the room. I really want you to start living your best life and I can be Direct,but you will never be anything but safe in the room and in the relationship we create with each other. I spent years fixing myself when all I really needed to do was be honest and let go of the past, which in reality, had let go of me. I was the only one keeping it alive. You can get better and you will get better! There is no situation you cannot turn to your advantage. I'm extremely flexible with time slots so don't be afraid to ask for ad hoc sessions . What are you waiting for? Get in touch! No matter where you are in the world, or what time zone you are in,let's begin that journey towards happiness.

Richie was very understanding and highlighted a few options how I could approach my issue. He paid attention to what I was saying and made it personal. It was like talking to a friend but with neutral opinion.
