Profile
'SPECIAL OFFERS AVAILABLE'
I am a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor committed to the well being of individuals, putting the YOU back into you.
Do you .....
Feel unable to cope?
Are struggling with relationships?
Feel your anger is getting out of control?
Feel depressed/stressed or anxious?
Are you suffering a loss, a bereavement or redundancy?
Are you suffering the loss of a much loved pet?
Have low self esteem?
Feel you lack confidence?
Counselling can help with all these and more. Choosing the right counsellor is most important as I believe the success of counselling is based upon a successful relationship between counsellor and client and this is why I offer a FREE initial assessment to help you decide whether counselling is for you and if I am the counsellor you would like to work with.
I trained in the Person Centred modality which puts the client in the centre of the relationship, a relationship where the counsellor and client are equals and where we will work together to explore the difficulties you are suffering.
My consulting rooms offer a safe, private, confidential space where you will receive respect and what you say will not be judged.
During our work together I may use skills and techniques from other approaches such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in which I am currently studying for my Diploma, to help you to explore those issues that are currently troubling you and affecting your everyday life.
A recent addition to my experience is that of couple counselling.
