Your Counsellor
A warm welcome to you. It is a pleasure to meet you here. I'm Anya, and I would be honoured to be a part of your transformative journey. Originally from Switzerland, I now call Waterford my home, where I live alongside my husband.
Nature and animals hold a special place in my heart, and it gives me great pleasure to immerse myself in the great outdoors through long walks. Connecting with nature plays a crucial role in my overall wellbeing. I place great importance on treating myself and the environment with respect.
As a Counsellor, I provide support and guidance tailored to each individual's unique path. I am proficient in both English and German, offering counselling services in your preferred language to ensure effective communication.
I genuinely look forward to getting to know you and hearing your personal story. Your journey is important to me, and together, we can explore the depths of your experiences and work towards personal growth and positive change.
