I went here to get some help with some anxiety issues. Andrea seemed very lovely and accommodating at first. I booked a session with her and she gave me a chpi e of times I selected 4.45pm she then sent me a message saying 5.45 so I replied to her asking to clarify the time she replied at 4.44 saying it was at 4.45 I explained I could be there in 15 minutes and she refused to see me or see me again in the future. And blamed me for her error with the time. I find this highly unprofessional and I'm shocked that a person who supposedly understand mental health would treat a patient in such a way.

Very lovely counselling waiting area, convenient by bus . Bus stop very close.
Calm environment
Andrea explains how she works and does thorough introduction session and assessment. I am pleased she is able to be flexible by negotiation and that I have found a safe beautiful space so close.
