Counsellor Profile

I am a humanistic counsellor and I love the person-centred approach,one of the reasons is that rather than being questioned by the counsellor you have control of how far you go and where you go. I value people and I have a great respect for the way people manage their lives. I provide a place of real respect and acceptance and people find their own way through.

I have been using person-centred counselling skills since 1996 and Contract counselling since 2001.
