Profile
Tomorrow does not have to be the same as yesterday!
As an experienced counsellor and as an accredited member of BACP I offer you a confidential, safe and supportive space in which you can explore, understand grow and change.
What is counselling?
A process for change! I was trained in the psychodynamic model and I believe that change can occur when we begin to explore and understand the power of our subconscious needs which are perhaps influenced by our earliest experiences. And so, as we can begin to understand ourselves changes occur, which give us the potential to gain control of our lives.
Why psychodynamic?
Working in the psychodynamic model I find there are a range of theories to draw from which give me the ability to offer my clients a way of working that is beneficial to their individuality ~ because we are all different!
Celebrating difference
And because we are all different so my relationship with each client will depend on the relationship we create between us. I believe that this 'therapeutic relationship' between my client and myself is the key to a successful outcome and although we can never offer guarantees, there is no magic wand, this therapeutic relationship is capable of creating a space for change so that tomorrow does not have to be a repetition of yesterday.
But the first step is for us to meet so that we can discuss your needs.

Further Information
What Next?
The first step is for us to meet.
Choosing a counsellor is both important and personal. You would need to tell me what you want and what you are looking for in a counsellor. And I would need to let you know if I think I can be of help to you.
I work with adults over the age of 18 individually on a short term, time limited basis or on an open ended long term basis.
The counselling sessions are for 50 minutes weekly. For more information please look at my web site or contact me email or phone.
I work from my home in Farringdon, Alton as well as at Alternatives Health Clinic in Shaldon Alton. There is parking available at both venues.
