About me
Hello, my name is Adam and I am a fully qualified Integrative counsellor. I have worked with client's on a wide range of issues and offer one-to-one counselling, either in person or via telephone/video call, in a confidential; comfortable and quiet setting. Here we will be able to explore any struggles and difficulties you have with the view to gaining new insights; understandings and potential for positive change. I look forward to working with you.
I am an experienced counsellor with a strong working knowledge of Psychology, I have taught the subject for 20 years. I have worked with most age group's, from adolescents as a college counsellor and adults as a private counsellor.
My approach is respectful, non-judgemental and supportive. I aim to listen to your concerns to allow you to feel safe enough to explore your difficulties. This could then help you to manage and change whatever has a hold on you, so you can move forward with your life. I have a very flexible approach to working and aim to tailor the sessions to your needs. For example, I am trained in cognitive-behavioural; person centred and psychodynamic styles. I have regular supervision and work within the National Counselling Society guidelines of which I am a member. See additional section to see how we will work initially. Thanks.

Further information
How to get started
1) Call or email me about setting up an initial session. (If you would like a quick 10 min chat before starting, that can arranged) 2) We'll talk about what you want to get out of counselling and assess where you are at. 3) If you're happy to continue after first session we'll set up a second session and will arrange to see each other either weekly/fortnightly, whatever fits for you. I am able to work with a whole range of issues. See general information for a description of the service.
Please note - With COVID I have been successfully working over telephone, zoom, what's app video and when and where possible meeting up outdoors in private settings. We can negotiate how we work best once contact is made, ideally we can meet soon.
