About me and my practice
My name is Vasos Counsellor, Psychotherapist & Clinical Supervisor.
I am a qualified UK Counsellor, Psychotherapist, and Clinical Supervisor with over 25 years of professional experience. I work with clients experiencing stress, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, relationship challenges, family conflicts, and LGBT-related issues.
Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting.
I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental spaceeither in person or onlinewhere you can explore difficult thoughts and emotions, feel understood, and gain clarity. My approach empowers you to make positive changes and live a more fulfilling life in the here and now.
