Profile
I offer one-to-one private counselling and psychotherapy to individuals aged 18 and over.
I am a qualified Person Centred counsellor and psychotherapist and am a registered and accredited member of the Brtish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. This means my private practice has been deemed sufficiently ethical and professional.
I have experience of working with various clients on a variety of issues such as stress, depression, anxiety, relationship issues/difficulties, bereavement/loss, men's issues, women's issues, addictions, eating disorders, separation, sexuality issues, physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, personal development, low confidence, low self esteem and more.
I have also have provided private counselling and psychotherapy for various organisaions such as Retail Trust, Terrence Higgins Trust, Coventry City Council, ITV and more.
I provide Person Centred counselling and psychotherapy. The Person Centred approach believes that as human beings we will always move towards fulfilment and do the best for ourselves, regardless of the situations we sometimes find ourselves in.
The Person Centred approach focuses on communicating the core conditions of empathy, acceptance and genuineness. By doing this, clients are given what is considered to be the appropriate environment to explore their thoughts and feelings, and feel more able to work towards fulfilling their potential.
Unlike many others, the Person Centred approach does not rely on tools or techniques. It focuses on building a warm, professional and therapeutic relationship in which you lead and the counsellor facilitates.
As a Person Centred counsellor and psychotherapist I believe that you are the expert in your own internal world and that you are the only person who knows how you truly feel.
I am honest and genuine in the way I work. I do not provide answers or give quick fixes. If there are any answers I believe that they lie within you, and that my role is to provide the right environment for you to feel more able to access your own internal resources. I only work with what you decide to bring to counselling.
Counselling sessions are available Monday to Friday between 9.00am and 7.30pm and also on Saturdays between 9.00am and 12.30pm.
