About me
These are difficult times for all of us with anxiety being palpable within society.
I am now able to offer face to face sessions for all clients.
Telephone and Zoom sessions available subject to agreement.
Walk and talk sessions available subject to assessment and agreement.
I am a registered and professional trained counsellor/therapist offering a general counselling service to clients.
I believe that these are times where we as counsellors need to ask the question how we can provide a service to our clients and potential clients?
I believe the answer is to respect your wishes and to recognise your inate ability to grow and heal given the right conditions to do so. I will endeavour to be flexible around how we work together and with what media we work.
I offer you my absolute commitment to support you in a way that protects your autonomy.
What I work with and how I work with client
By experience I have found that clients will sometimes be quite specific about what they want and other times they are searching for what is wrong. In the initial stages of counselling I take great care to develop trust as only then can you feel truly safe to speak freely and openly.
I strongly believe in working towards improving how we live on a daily basis whilst recognising that the past and worries about the future can impact on how we live in the present. I have experience of working with many issues eg anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, PTSD/Trauma and more. I will not define you by a diagnosis or a label as I see every client as an individual with individual strengths, ability, desires and hope for the future. I offer you a balanced perspective and supportive relationship where you sit at the centre of our work together.
I am quite happy to have an initial telephone chat and answer any questions you may have.
What I offer you the client
A Safe and confidential place where you can be:-
Heard and be seen for who you are.
Empathy
Sensitivity.
Honesty.
Trust.
Balance
Confidentiality.
More than anything I offer my passion and strong believe that I can help.
