Profile
Qualified and professional counselling, helping people deal with a wide range of difficulties and life problems. Working with people in a way that explores the issues or problems is often a very personal journey during which people discover a way forward to a more empowered and effective way of being.
I am an accredited member of the B.A.C.P. - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and work from my home in Sarratt near Watford, post code WD3 6BY. I am also a counsellor, assessor and supervisor for Bucks Mind.

Other areas of counselling I deal with
It has been my experience that the difficulties people have to deal with do not always fit neatly under a particular heading. For instance, there might be more than one problem, or perhaps the problem is hard to identify or see clearly, leaving you with emotions that are difficult to understand. It is often at times like this that talking to someone independent, who will not judge or criticise will be helpful.
For some people it is the exploration of the problem that leads to a clearer understanding and then to the discovery of a solution. For others there may no recognisable “problem” just an unfocused feeling that is the cause of unhappiness, anger frustration or some other negative response. If that is the case, then it might be helpful to give yourself the time to talk about your thoughts and feelings and where they are coming from. Expressing your thoughts and feelings to another person can lead to a clearer understanding of the things that may be at the root of the way you feel.

- Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies - Behavioural Therapy
- Humanistic Therapies - Person-Centred Counselling

Fees
The first session is one where we can talk things over and you will be able to decide if I am the right counsellor for you. So, because at this early stage neither of us know how things are going to go between us I only ask a fee of: -
£15 for the first meeting, and then if you decide to continue with counselling the fee would be:-
£35 per 60 minute session.
