Profile
Is the relationship with your partner not what it used to be?
Is there an area of your life that is proving difficult or stressful?
Have you had a loss or trauma in your life and are finding it hard to cope?
Did you have difficulties in your childhood and are now finding that they are affecting you as an adult?
Does life seem dreary and you have lost your direction?
You could well find some positive improvements using counselling. I am a professionally qualified and experienced councillor working in Oxford. I offer counselling for many issues, including relationship problems, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, loss and bereavement, as well as regaining the positive aspects of life. I work with individuals and couples.
I believe that the most successful therapeutic relationship is one that is warm, accepting and genuine, with both client and counsellor working collaboratively on the clients issues. I will work with you in a non-judgemental, confidential and transparent way and I bring a broad range of counselling experience to the work - the breadth of this experience can be seen from the list below. I can offer a safe space for you to explore issues that are affecting you and your daily life. This safe space and time allows you to gain a greater understanding of your difficulties and to make sense of what is happening in your life.
As a person-centred counsellor, I offer both short term and long term therapy, and am happy to work over the phone.
As a life coach, I have been working since 2003 with individuals both privately and within organisations, and these clients have achieved some excellent results during the time I have been working with them. The issues have ranged from single events like giving a presentation or completing a book, to larger issues like changing career, improving performance or getting more out of life.
