spirituality

I believe that a healthy mind and healthy soul will result in a healthy body. By combining spirituality to the classic techniques of counselling, I believe the results are enhanced through synergism of the two states. I respect all religions and welcome all faiths and use these positive personal beliefs to help guide individuals through hardship, stress and emotionally challenging times.
