Adriana offers patients an opportunity to have counselling here at Clifton Health Centre, her counselling style integrates a number of approaches in order to create a safe environment so that her clients can share and explore the particular meaning of their distress.   Being alongside people in a warm and non-judging relationship, whilst they talk about their emotional pain, can in itself be experienced as healing.  Within her work Adriana aims to empower people so that they can find the necessary self belief and confidence to make good personal choices.
