About me
Do you feel depressed, anxious, confused, hurt, unable to cope or just not sure what to do? Sometimes talking to someone who is not a friend or family member, in confidence, can be really helpful to unravel difficult and complicated feelings.
I was initially trained as a person-centred counsellor. I now, through experience and training, integrate some aspects of other modalities. I aim to provide a counselling relationship which is safe, non-judgemental and empathic.Together we can explore your concerns to hopefully reach a better understanding or different perspective or even examine how to cope with what might not be possible to change.
I work in a holistic way because I believe that everything a client brings to therapy is important and relevant and so I follow my clients and ask relevant questions in a non-threatening and calm manner, I work at the clients pace.
I have experience of many different issues, and have worked with people from a wide range of ages. I am an Independent practitioner offering counselling to individuals. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I can offer brief and longer term counselling with the flexibility of day or evening appointments. The initial assessment provides an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have so that you can decide if you want to continue.
