About me and my therapy practice

I am a fully qualified counsellor and an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I have a long-held belief in each person inner ability and potential, which is very much at the heart of my counselling practice and theoretical model.

This means that I won’t impose my views on you or tell you what to do. My role is to listen empathetically and to be with you as you make sense of your feelings (including the painful ones), thoughts and behaviours, and to encourage you to reconnect with yourself and to uncover your own resources. I will support you in moving forward so that you can realise your full potential.

This is achieved by means of a genuine therapeutic relationship in a warm environment where you can feel safe, supported and free to explore whatever difficulties you may be facing.

I listen with compassion so that I can understand you and what you are experiencing; feeling heard and understood allows us to accept ourselves more, and to feel ’OK’ with being who we truly are.

Practice description

Approaching counselling for the first time can be a daunting experience. I offer a free initial consultation for you to ask any questions about me and about the counselling process, and to discuss any concerns you may have. This is also an opportunity for us to meet and get a sense of whether we can work together.

Experience:

- My experience includes working at the student counselling service at one of the local universities and working with private clients individual and couples. I also worked at Liverpool Bereavement Service as a volunteer counsellor early in my career.

- Clients have come for counselling with a wide range of issues including, anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, stress, work related stress, sexual identity, low-self-esteem, past trauma, relationship issues, religion, and discrimination, to name just a few.

- I have witnessed remarkable positive changes in clients with a long history of anxiety, depression, panic attacks and low mood. They have reported (in certain cases in fewer than six counselling sessions) feeling ’free’, ’liberated’ or ’excited about life’, for example.

Fees:

- Initial telephone/zoom consultation: Free (30 minutes)

- Individual sessions: £45 (50 minutes)

- Couples: £60 (60 minutes)

I also offer the sessions in Spanish.

- Si tu lengua materna es el español podemos hacer la terapia en esta lengua si así lo prefieres.

- Si conoces a alguien que podría beneficiarse de su terapia en español puedes pasarle mis datos de contacto. Gracias

My first session

At the start of our first session, I will explain (and give you a copy) of the ‘working agreement’ and GDPR (data protection) statement for you to sign prior to us starting the session. This includes practicalities of arranging/cancelling the sessions, fees, confidentiality and limitation to it.

We can the. start the clinical work, I will do my best to put you at ease and will attentively listen to your difficulties. We will discuss together your goals. We will also explore how we can achieve this. I may ask you questions to further explore the nature of your difficulties and to fully understand you.

You won’t have to fill assessments forms or complete tasks in between sessions unless you wish to do so.

Towards the end of each session we will review it to track our progress so that we can adjust or make changes if necessary.
