I am Operine, Registered Clinical Counsellor. I am taking to the counselling space over 26 years of counselling experience, education and hopefully wisdom. I value safety and confidentiality. Space will be created where it is possible to explore those areas of your life where you may feel stuck, unmotivated and inadequate, unloved, unwanted and unheard. These can be the result of trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety, loss, poor relationships or just life’s lessons of irritations, annoyances and frustrations.
You will be heard!
