About me and my therapy practice
It is perfectly normal to find yourself struggling with issues. These can be minor worries or anxieties to life's tough challenges, such as grief, divorce or panic attacks. Whatever you are struggling with, we can work through these together.
I practice person-centred therapy, a gentle, non-directive approach that provides a secure, non-judgemental and supportive environment for helping you work through any issues you might face.
I don't believe in a hard sell to clients, so there is more about me below if you need further information. Reaching out and speaking is more important than reading reams about a counsellor's background.
Whatever you choose, I wish you well on your unique journey.
Practice description
My training is in integrative counselling (integrative means that I have multiple ways of working with clients). Though I work primarily as a person-centred counsellor
Person-centred counselling is a philosophy of counselling described as gentle but powerful. At its heart, it believes that clients are the best experts on themselves, and it adopts a non-directive approach and relies on the inherent power of the client. Many studies have demonstrated its efficacy in helping people grow and overcome challenges.
I have worked with people from all walks of life, including adults of all ages, children, ex-offenders, students and teachers. Working with a vast array of issues, including grief, anxieties, health issues, relationship issues
I am an accredited member of the NCS and a registered member of the BACP.
My first session
I provide a free 30 minute initial consultation as I think it is important for client's to feel comfortable with their counsellor.
In this consultation, we can discuss what you would like to work on or whether you would just like to see where sessions will lead. I can give a fuller explanation of how I can work with you.
