Profile

Hello and welcome to my page.

I have been helping people with psychological issues for over 30 years, and originally went for counselling training because others would often seek me out to listen to their problems and difficulties. My own background and past difficulties mean that I have a good understanding of where others may be coming from.

My rooms are comfortable and relaxed and we are able to offer a space for you to wait, with refreshments if you are too early and a warm welcome as well as two counselling rooms allowing us greater flexibility with appointment times. We offer both day-time and evening sessions. There is plenty of parking. Bus stops are very near to us and we are within easy walking distance of both the city centre and the countryside.

My concern is to help my clients overcome the issues that are preventing them from reaching their full potential; to see them break free from those things that are holding them back. Working with a number of different counselling models, enables me to adapt to my clients' individual needs and circumstances.

Some clients come with a specific issue and goal in mind; these people I generally do not have to see too many times. Some, however, are looking for more general open-ended therapy, which I am also able to offer. Whatever your issues and situation, I can guarantee that we will do our best to create an environment where you will feel safe and listened to, with the ultimate goal of helping you to get to a place of freedom.

I also work as a supervisor. I particularly appreciate involvement with student counsellors but am also able to work with those who are more experienced. My concern is to support and hold those in training, and to provide a space for the more experienced to off-load their concerns, frustrations and joys! As well as the excellent training I have had, my own experiences of both helpful and unhelpful supervision have taught me a lot; as a result I am in a very good place to help others.

As well as working with individuals and couples, I run workshops and seminars on counselling and personality issues. I am also trained as a Myers Briggs Personality Type assessor which is a very helpful and liberating tool to accept and understand yourself and others.

I am accredited by BACP, have full professional indemnity insurance and am committed to ongoing professional development.

If you have any questions or are interested in finding out more please feel free to contact me with no obligation. I would love to hear from you, either by email or phone. Alternatively have a wander around my website, address and link above.

Therapies Offered

Fees

If you are not totally happy with your initial exploratory session with us and decide not to go any further we will immediately and fully refund the cost of that initial session. Furthermore, if you still would like to find a counsellor we will be happy to help you in your search.

We also offer concessions for those who are unemployed or who are on benefits, on production of appropriate evidence.

SPECIAL NEW YEAR OFFER
We are offering the initial session at half price until the end of February. We will still refund the full amount of money if you decide counselling with us is not what you need. You have nothing to lose; and everything, possibly, to gain... We look forward to hearing from you! 

Further Information

There are six of us working from my offices, with two more joining us soon. I have carefully interviewed these counsellors to ensure that they will be of a suitable standard, experience and ethos to work with my clients and all have CRB clearance. I also require that they subscribe to the same code of professional conduct and are members of BACP.

I run training days in Myers Briggs Personality Type - either for organisations or for groups of individuals. 

I am considering, if there's enough interest, running a couple of days on Myers Briggs sometime late Spring / early Summer. You would be able to work out your personality profile, but then, through activities and 'games' in small groups, would be able to work out the implications of it all. If you would like to know more or would be interested in joining us, please let me know! When I've got some idea of the numbers I can organise dates and venue.



Furthermore, I run days for couples: either to enrich and deepen their relationship generally, or to get to understand themselves and one another better through the Myers Briggs Personality Type indicator.

I regularly update my website (address above) so please do take a look: articles, events, thoughts for the week, testimonials. Something might be of interest to you... Alternatively take a visit to my pages on facebook and twitter.
