About me and my therapy practice

Counselling can help you to understand yourself better and to find better ways of living and coping with problems.

During my 25 years as a counsellor I have worked with a broad range of issues mainly within local GP practices and Employee Assistance (EAP) programs.

I work with adults and young people aged 16 and over. We will work in the best way to suit you, whether its about personal, work or relationship issues. I offer online and telephone sessions. I can also offer home visits.

Practice description

I work mainly online and by telephone. I am able to offer home visits where required.

counselling sessions are usually one hour weekly but this is negotiable as it may not suit everyone.

We will explore what is important to you and what you want to achieve through counselling and together find ways to help you attain your goals.

My first session

Our first one hour session is a chance to get to know one another and I will complete a thorough assessment of your needs. If you feel comfortable talking to me, we will explore the best way to work together.

I will ask you to complete a depression and anxiety questionnaire as this will help me to understand how you are affected by your issues and will help us to focus on what you want to get out of counselling. This is not essential though - if you prefer not to complete one, we will talk through your main issue/s and what you want to achieve.
