Counsellor 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 e-mail and phone number are just above this profile and my initial session is free. 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 hope I can look forward to hearing from you.

Training, Qualifications & Experience (more info)

I hold the CPCAB Level 4 Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). As a member, I work within their ethical framework (for more information about BACP please visit their website at www.bacp.co.uk). My experience embraces working within a community counselling service and the NHS as well as running my own practice.

Although I do not work with addiction, I do work with those in recovery who are seeking support and understanding during their ongoing journey.
