Profile
Counselling is an opportunity for you to describe and reflect on those topics of concern or incidents that have impacted your life, and to build psychological strength for the future.
By being attentive, patient, positive, respectful, and realistic about your concerns, I strive to provide a relationship within which to explore what matters most to you.
I refrain from making any judgement or diagnosis, and make no attempt to fit you into any theory. My approach and attitude is one of negotiated investigation. No 'technique' is used without your consent.
