Practice description
How I can help
I will offer you an environment that will allow us to safely explore and work through issues that may be troubling you and your unique experience of the issues. By offering a confidential and non-judgemental service we can work together at your pace and work towards the outcomes you seek.
How I will work with you
As a Person-Centred Psychotherapist it is not my role to offer you advice or my opinion about what you are experiencing in your life, you may even be at a point where the advice and opinions of others is adding pressure. Instead my role is to empower you towards your own solutions or decisions by offering you genuine empathy, acceptance and honesty.
You may require a space to work through emotions and feelings that you are unable to express elsewhere such as anxiety, sadness, grief for example. I aim to offer you the necessary conditions to process these feelings in a healthy way.
My first session
It can be challenging finding the right counsellor for you because of this I offer an initial phone consultation which can take around 20 minutes - we can use this time to discuss expectations and ensure that we are on the same page to be able to work successfully together.
Please feel free to get in touch with me in which every way suits you best, phone, email or text message and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
During the first session we can explore what you are hoping for and wanting from counselling and from your counsellor. If you are comfortable to continue our sessions we will book in weekly sessions thereafter.
It can be quite daunting deciding on a counsellor and then taking the next step to reach out. That is why I aim to make this process as stress free and inviting for you as possible.
Please do feel free to get in touch to ask any questions or to arrange an initial appointment.
Sessions will be 50 minutes in length.
