Hi my name is Cathy and I am a Adolescent and Adult Integrative Counsellor.

I also work with Adults on a range of issues such as Anxiety, Depression and Stress within the Community, Voluntary Sector and Private Practice. This has given me great diversity in my client work and I am able to counsel within a wide range of settings and age groups.

How counselling can help

My aim is to provide emotional support to people who are experiencing difficulties in their lives, by helping them to address, identify and work through their issues. Working together through the most important aspect of counselling that being the therapeutic relationship. I will offer you a warm, safe, confidential, non-judgmental space, were you can talk through your issues and build positive coping strategies into your life, work towards future goals, for a happier healthier you.

The first session will give us the opportunity to meet and introduce ourselves for the first time. A number of things will be covered such as confidentiality and timing's. The session will be offered for 1 hour and an assessment of your presenting concerns will be taken, I will be interested to hear your story and what your goals are for counselling.
