Email meAbout me
I strongly believe that the relationship between you the client, and me the therapist, is at the heart of any work we may do together. I strive to be open and honest and work in a collaborative manner with no hidden agendas. I strive to offer a warm, welcoming relationship in which you can feel heard and safe enough to explore and work on whatever it is that is causing you distress.
I know that it takes courage to accept you need help, determination to contact a counsellor and commitment to attend counselling. My aim is to be a faithful companion to you on your journey during the time we work together. There is no formula as to how to live. I welcome the opportunity to work with you to find your own unique resolution to your problems.
Experience
I have the experience to, and am willing to work with most issues that lead you to seek counselling or psychotherapy. Many clients come to me via their work, through their company's employee assist programme (EAP). Others seek me out privately. I work with individuals, couples, groups, and people of most ages - normally 12+.
EAPs expect a counsellor to be able to work effectively with a very wide range of issues. I have therefore built up experience and expertise in many fields including work-related stress, anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, anger management, bereavement, addictions, working with teenagers, abuse (sexual, domestic, bullying, assault), trauma and couple counselling.
Telephone Counselling
Telephone counselling might be a good option for you if you would find it hard to come and see me for appointments. This may be due to distances involved, time commitments, preferring the anonymity that phone counselling can offer or just because it is more convenient for you. Some clients do a mix of phoning and coming to see me in my counselling room.
What I offer
I offer both short-term and long-term contracts so that you can choose what suites your needs best. At the end of each session you can decide if you feel you want more sessions or not and when you would like to come again. If you would like to come again we then need to agree a mutually convenient time. I offer both day-time and evening appointments. I do not work weekends.
Accessibility
Free street parking. 10 - 15 minute walk to railway station. Bus stop at end of street.
There is one shallow step into my cottage. The counselling room is by the front door.
