Learn to use conversations to gain connection and clarity in your life
Discover Your Path Forward
At Today Matters Counselling, I believe that conversations are like the stars guiding the sailors of old - offering you the light to gain your bearings and navigate the course to where you wish to go. Through our compassionate counselling services, I will help you explore the connection between your values, where you are now and the clarity you need to move forward in your life.
A little about why I may be a good fit for you.
Embarking on your counselling journey with me promises a space of warmth and empathy. After 30 years of hands-on experience working with people, I offer an approach centred on genuine connection and understanding through conversation.
Making a decision to Talk To Someone can be difficult, I am happy to chat over a coffee with no obligation or talk on the phone.

The Right Counsellor

Emergency Counselling - I need to talk today
From Personal experience I know sometimes we need to talk today someone today. Putting off that needed conversation can trick us into feeling that issues maybe resolved or not really an issue until the arise again when we lest expect them to.
My 1.5 hour sessions are flexible, allowing us to delve deeper or conclude earlier based on your comfort.
