I work predominantly office hours but I have some limited availability for evenings and weekends. Please contact me for further information.

Hello and well done on taking the first step towards finding some help, I know how hard it can be.

You may be looking for counselling for help with a particular area of your life or perhaps you have a more general sense of unease that everything is not alright in your world. Whatever your reason for coming to counselling, I am here to help and support you.

I offer you the opportunity to talk freely about whatever is making life difficult for you in a fully supportive and non-judgemental space. I am here to listen to you and work with you to build your understanding and awareness so that you can find a positive way forward and increase your overall sense of wellbeing.

I am a humanistic integrative counsellor, which means that I support and guide you rather than direct you - you are the expert on yourself and only you know exactly what it is like to be you. With this in mind, we will always work at a pace that is comfortable for you. 

I am calm and caring and I offer full acceptance of whatever issues you may bring to the sessions. I am here to listen and offer you a safe space to explore your feelings, beliefs and behaviours. We will work together to help you reflect upon these and the areas of your life that you are finding difficult. This increased understanding and insight will enable you to make positive change.

I use a predominantly person-centred approach which places you at the heart of everything we do. However, I also integrate additional theoretical models and methodology as they are appropriate to you and your journey. In this way, I can draw on different skills to tailor my approach to you as an individual, unique person. It also allows me to adapt as we progress to ensure that our work together meets your particular need at any given point in the process.

Therapy is a rewarding process that can help you make positive changes in many different areas of your life. However, it can feel a little daunting at the beginning when it is all new and unknown. 

With this in mind, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. This offers you the opportunity to ask any questions and to get an initial feeling about my suitability for you. It also allows me to get an understanding of what you are looking for.

Please contact me by phone or email to organise the complimentary phone consultation. You can also find more information via my website www.anchor-counselling.co.uk
