Profile
You're looking for a counsellor - part of you wants to, part of you really doesn't. So how do you choose? Gut feeling? There are lots of counsellors saying pretty much the same things. It's difficult to know who to contact. It's important though. Somehow the 'fit' has to feel right. This is never easy.
Before you do anything go to my website by clicking the link towards the top of this page. It's a lot more detailed and may help you to form an impression, get a sense of me and mull it over.
You can come for private counselling at a location to suit. I work from different practice locations in Leicester city and county: Stoneygate (LE2), London Road (close to University Road/De Montfort St), West Leicestershire (LE9) and Leicester Forest East (LE3).
Searching for a counsellor means that you are aware of your problems, struggles, pain and or difficulties, that you want to face them, deal with them and get on with your life. It takes self-respect and strength to take the first steps to help yourself. And, in taking these steps all manner of concerns can be stirred up. Understandably. It is, after all, your own well-being we are talking about here; a very important and deeply personal part of you, your life your future.
**Concessionary Fees:Occasionally I'm able to offer a number of sessions at lower fees. These session can get taken quickly. Call me for details.
When our lives are all somehow 'messed up', when we feel under stress, when everything is wrong - we feel empty, depressed, anxious, paralysed. We thrash about looking for a quick fix. We use 'things' to deal with our emotions and feelings. I don't offer you a place where you will find a shallow fix. But I do aim to offer you a place where you can be helped to really understand what is going on for you beneath the surface.
In the meantime have a look around my main websites (links below). The things I talk about may strike a cord with you. Hopefully it will help you to form more of an impression of me.
Putting yourself first
People often say they feel guilty investing in themselves. They may be used to caring for others and feel uncomfortable focusing on their own needs. In reality the opposite is true. When we invest in (or take care of) ourselves we can come to respect and value ourselves in ways that are fundamental to life satisfaction.
LOCATIONS
More and more people from all walks of life are searching for a good counsellor. It is because of the increase in demand that I now provide private counselling from 4 practice locations: the LE9 area of Leicestershire, from my consulting rooms in Stoneygate, Leicester Forest East LE3 and my practice close to the City center on London Road.

I understand how difficult it can be for any of us to acknowledge that we are struggling with a problem or difficulty. It's therefore hard sometimes to take the first step to talk to a counsellor. Making contact, by phone, or email if it feels easier, is experienced by many people as a first positive step in the right direction. We can then talk through what you need to know and what you are looking for.
Although I accept referral from Doctors, Occupational Health Specialists and other professionals most people contact me directly.
Training, Qualifications & Experience
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I work within their comprehensive ethical code of practice ensuring that appropriate standards of professional conduct are maintained.

Other areas of counselling I deal with
The above is just a guideline.

Whatever you are struggling to deal with, counselling - either face to face or over the phone - is experienced by many people as a really helpful way forward. Please however know that counselling is not offered as a substitute for GP consultation, diagnosis or medical treatment.
