Profile
At some time in life, you may feel confused, lost or have to cope with a difficult or unexpected situation:
- you may be feeling isolated, alone or depressed,
- you could be yearning for change but not know how to start,
- you could be facing the loss of a loved one,
These times in our lives are very difficult and are often hard to handle especially if you feel alone. Seeing a counsellor can be helpful for several reasons. A counsellor can provide a confidential space for you to talk in a supportive environment and won't judge you. A counsellor will aid and "be with you" throughout these difficult times but also will provide you with the expertise and training to stay with you and enable you to re-find yourself.
Counselling is provided in a confidential environment and will work at your own pace and at a time convenient for you. Counselling can be seen to be a journey to be embarked on "together." Any issue can be talked about - relationship difficulties; loss; low self esteem; feeling lost; addictions; bullying, rape, abuse, domestic violence or issues around children and being a parent. I (as the counsellor) will act as the mirror to enable you to explore and look at yourself and thus enable you to create the changes you desire.
Counselling can be short or long term and this will be decided together. Counselling could even start with one issue and move onto another and follow a path of self discovery. Ultimately it is for you to decide how you want to the work to go.
My attribute as a counsellor is that I am sensitive to other people's pain. I can be with you throughout the darkest moments but provide challenge to enable you to grow. I work with the processes going on within the room.
I am a member of the BACP Counselling Code of Ethics and adhere to their principles.
Training, Qualifications & Experience
I have always been interested in counselling. I have a Foundation Degree in Counselling and am a Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
My training was in the Clarkson 5 Modality Model. This means that I will work with my clients using different modalities of relationship. I will use transference - what is going on between ourselves; person to person - I - Thou; Working Alliance - agree arrangements , place and time; Transpersonal - intuitive processes.
The premise of myself is that the "relationship" is central for healing and it is a relationship of trust and deep care that I hope to develop in the counselling room.

Further Information
I believe counselling is an essential tool for your support when you have times in your life when you are suffering. Counselling enables you to receive support and empathy in a private environment.
It allows you in your own time to rediscover your sense of self and self belief. Counselling can help you to find you again.
