Candy’s Counselling

ABOUT ME
From managing teams in a well-known coffee chain to supporting individuals & couples in their personal growth, my career has always centred on people. After a colleague noted my empathetic, well-rounded approach to problem solving she suggested I explore becoming a counsellor. This resonated with me, since people had been coming to me since I was teenager with their problems. I enrolled on an introductory course in counselling and so began my inspiring journey towards being a qualified counsellor. I am nearly two decades post qualification.
