About me and my therapy practice
I have been counselling since 1980 and Accredited since 1987. I have over 22,000 hours experience. My experience is extensive, and my main areas of interest are couples and Autistic Spectrum/Aspergers syndrome.
My theoretical approach is Person-centred which is a positive 'growth model', as opposed to many approaches, which are 'deficit models'. I intend to create an environment in which my clients can become more fully themselves, rather than trying to determine how they are failing.
I am known for my clarity of thinking. I am currently a Director of two counselling businesses, and I have a background in running businesses and charities.
Practice description
Online only using
Zoom - requires a small add-on to be down loaded to your computer.
Skype - Most computers come with the software pre-loaded, but we need to exchange "contact details" once before the first session. You will need to know your Skype address.
FaceTime - very simplyusing your mobile phone number or email address, but you must have an Apple device (iPhone, iPad or Mac)
Write Upp Video - no special equipment necessary, works with most modern browsers. You just click on the link I send you at the right time and "hey presto".
