Profile
I am an Accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and I practice under the association's Ethical Framework for Good Practice. I am an experienced psychodynamic counsellor offering professional and confidential one to one counselling to adults, young people and families on both a long and short term basis.
Deciding to see a counsellor and making that first contact can be a huge step. It is okay to feel nervous about it. Maybe this is the first time and you don't know what to expect or how things work. Stepping into an unknown situation can be really uncomfortable. I will do everything I can to address your worries and concerns, I will explain what you can expect from me and how the process works.
During the counselling session, I aim to provide a safe place where you can share your thoughts, feelings and concerns in as much detail as you wish. You will neither be judged nor have ideas or opinions imposed upon you.
Depending on the issues bothering you, you may benefit from a few sessions to help you deal with a current problem, or an in-depth personal journey to help you resolve past experiences. The number of sessions is not prescribed but something we can agree together as we go along. I will do my best to work within a schedule that you can manage.
