‘When talking with friends just isn’t enough…
Confidential, supportive counselling using therapeutic approaches right for YOUR needs…’

Your goals are achievable. Some are reached quickly; others take a little longer.
At Fairfield Counselling, the past needn’t determine your future. You have power over the direction of your life, over the person you want to be. Viv Ray will work with you to make the changes necessary for you to achieve your goals.

“When I went to see Viv, I was very unhappy in my relationship and my self esteem was at rock bottom. Viv’s skills, non judgemental attitude and calm demeaner were invaluable to me. Throughout my counselling sessions my  knowledge and confidence increased. I now feel much more positive and I know what to do if I start slipping backwards again. I can’t thank Viv enough.“

“I was brought up in a conservative, religious family that thought being gay was the work of the devil. When I started seeing Viv for counselling I didn’t believe I was worth ‘the crumbs under the table.’ Slowly but surely I came to accept that I was a lesbian and there was nothing to be ashamed of. Today I live a well adjusted life, I have many GLBT friends and I like the person I am.“
