About me and my therapy practice
I specialise in relationship counselling offering counselling to heterosexual and same sex individuals and couples. I am happy to meet clients for a once off if that is what they prefer. I feel alive when new couples come with their individual issues, because each situation is so different. Working alongside clients as they develop a more secure base and a deeper connection with each other is extremely rewarding.
Practice description
My training is in Person Centred Therapy and also Emotionally Focused Therapy.
I have been counselling for many years and love what I do.
As a Person Centred Counsellor I believe that clients know what is best for them and with the proper support have the ability to heal themselves. I am non judgemental and accept clients for who they are and how they feel. I understand the need for empathy and will take the time to get to know where clients are in the relationship. By allowing couples the time and space to listen and really ‘hear’ each other will bring great insight into the relationship.
Emotionally Focused Therapy. has given me the skills to assist clients in dealing with their recurring negative patterns and facilitate them to go ‘deeper’ and address their core underlying emotions discovering what is really happening.
With support clients can learn new patterns of communicating which will help in achieving a healthy, secure bond.
The process of change during our relationship counselling sessions can be transforming; and it will enable you to reach a place where you really ‘get’ each other. Moving your relationship forward more positively in the way you have chosen to do so.
My first session
When clients come initially I explain confidentiality and my method of storing files/notes etc. I explain that we meet weekly for one hour duration. I will also answer any questions the client/s may have and discuss what issues need addressing and our plan going forward.
