Counsellor Profile
My objective in counselling is to gently enable clients to look at their present situation, as well as past events which may have influenced it, and to sensitively help them develop their own skills and strengths, so that they become able not only to make appropriate decisions in the present, but also to live more effectively in the future. This means that whatever your story and whatever your age, I will give you 100% of my attention and respect. I will value your need for confidentiality and I will support you in ways that will leave you in no doubt that you are being truly heard. I try to give you the opportunity to have an appointment time that fits in with your busy schedule, so I offer evening appointments up to 8 p.m. Double length appointments can be offered for couples. I have seen people aged from 8 to 80, so age is not a barrier.
My counselling room is situated in a quiet, peaceful, tranquil location which is not overlooked and cannot be overheard. Parking is available right outside.
