    About Rosie My personal philosophy is that our life is like a jigsaw puzzle, in which we put the pieces together as we journey through life. Sometimes pieces get lost, turned over, put in the wrong place. This is when you feel uncomfortable, stuck, lost and afraid. I can help you to sort out some of the pieces of your puzzle and fit them together. I believe passionately in being able to make informed choices and decisions. My purpose in the counselling room is to enable you to identify and understand what is keeping you stuck. We will work together to sort through some strategies which are realistic, possible and achievable I am a person centered counsellor, which means that I believe you are the expert in your own life.
