About me and my therapy practice
I qualified as a counsellor over 20 years ago and I have experience of working therapeutically with men and women of all ages and backgrounds.
My aim is to offer you a confidential, non-judgmental, safe space to air and explore any issues of concern. I see the purpose of counselling as an opportunity for personal development and growth with the aim of addressing your issues as well as your coping mechanisms.
My theoretical approach in counselling is Integrative. This enables me to adapt how I work with each person, whilst respecting individual beliefs, values and cultures.
I see my purpose as a professional counsellor, to work with you in order to aid your self-awareness and understanding so that you can feel empowered to make relevant and lasting positive changes in your life. I hope to facilitate and enable you to find the right path for you.
I have worked in schools, youth counselling services, voluntary organisations, private practice and now currently in the NHS. In addition to seeing clients face to face, I also offer remote counselling either over the telephone and via video calls.
Practice description
Please note - all sessions are currently offered remotely, either by telephone or video conference calls, until further notice.
I am still able to offer you the same professional standards and confidentiality that I would offer in person and although this is not everyone's preferred way of working, I have found it to be equally if not more, effective.
My first session
It is natural to have some reservations, hesitations or even anxiety, if you are thinking about accessing counselling. It also suggests that maybe you have been struggling for a while and would benefit from talking through some of your thoughts and feelings.
If you would like to have an informal, no obligation, but confidential chat about whether this is right for you, please do contact me. I offer a free 30 minute first session as an opportunity for you to consider whether you feel comfortable with progressing in therapy with me.
