About me and my therapy practice

I have over thirty years of counselling experience. I am particularly interested in Solution Focused Brief Therapy, which, by noticing and building on the person's own existing skills and helping strategies, can often help people make significant changes to their situation within five or six sessions. I am a BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor/ Psychotherapist. 

Practice description

I am currently offering counselling sessions online (via Zoom, Skype, or FaceTime) or by phone, at a reduced rate of £35.

My first session

My first session generally involves finding out about the person and their situation, acknowledging and exploring the impact and effect on them of the issues and difficulties they are facing. At the same time, there is a noticing of any occasions when things seem to go a bit better, and what factors may be helping in those times. This may lead to a discussion of activities the person is currently doing that are already helpful to some extent, and ways to take these further.
