Profile

Hello! Confusing, isn’t it? How on earth can you choose the right counsellor for you simply from a description? It’s such a personal choice and you don’t want to get it wrong. So what’s the best way to go about it? Well, personally, I would select a few that might be suitable and then just telephone or e-mail them to start with and have a chat. If I felt comfortable with the person I was talking to I would probably book an initial session and then take it from there. If I didn’t feel comfortable then I’d ring the next one; all I stand to lose is the cost of a phone call. My phone number is at the top of this page. Oh, and by the way, my style of counselling is called person centred – it centres around you; it’s not directive and it is very very effective. I look forward to hearing from you.
