Profile

I am a fully qualified counsellor, and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), working within their ethical framework, for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I offer professional, confidential counselling for a wide range of issues, in a safe and relaxed environment. Counselling can be short term or longer term, dependent on your requirements, and I am non-judgemental, understanding and respectful, and believe that the relationship between counsellor and client is central to the work.

I will provide you with a supportive and private environment, where you can share your concerns in a confidential and safe place, exploring and clarifying problems and possible solutions. Counselling is about being able to share how you feel about yourself and others and having your feelings heard and respected. It can help you to recognise and to draw on your own strengths and resources, in order to deal with life’s challenges in a positive way that is right for you.

Counselling is not about giving advice, but together exploring ways to finding your own answers, making the right choices for yourself. It can help to clarify and gain a clearer understanding of your problem, a different perspective, and to develop effective coping skills for the future as well as the present.

Further Information

If you have decided for yourself that you want to do something about a certain issue/feeling in your life, and feel that you need some confidential and non judgemental support, then take that next step forward and get in touch, and we can discuss it further.

I have a small room in Newark Town Centre, where I can meet you on a one to one basis, or visit you at your home, if this is your preference, dependent on distance; this may incur travel costs.

Supervision: I also offer Supervision for Counsellors, and I work from an integrative background. Sessions usually last 1.5 hours per month, dependent on your client hours, at £30 per hour, or £20 per hour for student counsellors.
