Counsellor Profile
I am an experienced counsellor and I offer private and confidential support to individuals and couples from my private practice which is based in Horsham. I have worked as a counsellor for over twelve years in both Horsham and Worthing. I offer both long and short term therapy in a safe confidential environment in which you will be able to develop a greater understanding about yourself so that you can make the changes necessary to fulfil your potential. A good relationship between the client and the therapist is essential for promoting trust, confidence, a sense of well being and growth. Therefore a committment to further sessions is only made at the end of the first session when the client feels that this relationship is possible. My approach is integrative and person centred and I tailor the work to each unique individuals requirements.I have a flexible appointment system and sessions can be booked for weekdays and evenings. I endeavour to create an appointment with you within one week of your initial enquiry.
