Profile

I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor who works with in the ethical guide lines of the BACP. I value each client for their own uniqueness,and offer a safe non judgmental, confidential space from which to explore any difficulties you may be experiencing. I have a broad range of experience in dealing with many of life's issues including ...anxiety, depression, anger management, addictions, bereavement & loss,...[see full list].

I work from a humanistic, person centred base, but believe that therapy must be a mix of both emotional and the cognitive; and so will intergrate some aspects of other modalities, such as CBT, and existential therapies; this being dependant on the clients predisposition. However, regardless of the type of therapy the outcome relies heavily on the relationship between the client and therapist, and 'their' mutual commitment to seek out creative possibilities for change and growth.

Starting counselling can be a daunting prospect, requiring a good deal of courage to engage in it.Getting to this point means you may have already started this process. So look round and see what might suit you, but keep going as evidence based research shows that counselling can have a very positive affect on peoples lives.....Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions !
