Email meAbout me
Hello and welcome.
Taking the first step to a counselling process can seem daunting. By reading through my profile I hope that this will help you to gain the information that you may need to go ahead and make that first contact.
What counselling is:
Counselling is a place for you to talk about anything that is troubling you. This may involve Your emotions, Your thinking, and even Your behaviour. A place that is safe, confidential and non-judgemental and a place for you to be listened to and understood. It is also where time will be given to you for enablement of self reflection. A place to where you can be you.
Therefore it may be that deciding what is the best option for you on choice of what counsellor, may be confusing. Please feel free to contact me and I will help by answering any questions that you may have about counselling.
Below you will find a description of my training and qualifications, The types of areas of counselling that I work with, and the types of therapy that I can offer to you.
I will look forward to hearing from you.
