WHAT IS COUNSELLING

Counselling is the term given to a range of talking therapies. They are delivered by trained practitioners who work with individuals over a short or long term to help them bring about effective change or enhance their wellbeing.

ABOUT ME

In the counselling room I work in an integrative way which simply means that I am able to use aspects and styles from various approches of counselling eg Cognitive Behavioural Therapy , Person Centred, Solution Focused etc.  This will help to provide the best type of counselling that suits your individual requirement and needs.

I offer a safe and non judgemental environment to dicuss any issues where you are listened to and heard.

I am dedicated to working alongside you to help you to explore and challenge your problems and then help you to look for solutions to bring about the positive changes you are looking for in your life.

I understand it may be difficult to make
initial contact. Please be assured that I will make this as easy as possible for you. I am happy to talk to you via email or telephone about your concerns regarding counselling prior to booking an appointment.
