Resources
Throughout the years I have collected some resources that you might find helpful. If you need someone to reach out to, or want to understand more about what we discuss in our sessions then some of the below links could give you further information and help you gain more understanding as you move forward. Some of my clients find using technology really useful so I have included some apps people recommend.
