It is highly effective for the treatment of many mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, anger, interpersonal issues, and couples conflicts.

ADOLESCENT & CHILD STAGE OF LIFE ISSUES
Changes over our lifetime can be a time of both disorientation and discovery.

Ginelle specialises in the treatment of transitional challenges to help ensure the best possible outcome for her clients.
