Alice Beattie | Counsellor

My passion is to walk alongside offering my insight, empathy and experience.  I am deeply committed to not only offering support and care but in also being able to provide practical tools (if needed) to empower confidence to manage challenges in life, challenges we all face from time to time.

Empowering and equipping others, without judgment and in a welcoming and safe space I consider a privilege – cultivating your trust to support your goals underpins my approach.
