I feel it is of value to both myself and the client to hold an initial consultation free of charge to ensure that the client feels comfortable in their choice of counselling.  This usually takes place over the phone, face to face or online.  Thereafter, regular sessions are agreed at a rate determined appropriate.

Face to face and online supervision is available

Supervision takes the shape from a Humanistic Modality underpinned my a Person-Centred approach; integrating a theoretical framework of supervisory principles, concepts and interventions. This is characterised by a fundamental focus of collaboration and continual professional development . Intent in providing ethical guidance which encourages and empowers creative exploration to provide beneficence; safe-guarding both the client and counsellor.

An initial discussion is offered  

Online counselling available 

I believe I know what matters in creating a safe, non-judemental and trusting environment to enable personal change and growth. I have chosen to base my counselling ethos on a Humanistic modality which includes the belief each of us has the ability, drive and autonomy within ourselves to resolve emotional issues, conflicts and life changing events. I also recognise we all need a bit of help and support in times of distress.

Adopting a client-centred approach, you will experience warmth and understanding that encourages a collaboration. To bring into awareness presenting concerns and issues; which may require deeper exploration of experiences, thoughts and feelings.

I also offer a creative humanistic supervision clinical practice, inclusive of experience of working with both counselling students and qualified therapists.

An initial discussion is offered to assess if counselling is the best option to take.
