About me
People seek counselling and psychotherapy for a huge range of reasons. It could be that you are experiencing changes in your life resulting in feeling low, frustrated or confused. You may want to explore and change issues you have struggled with for a long time. Maybe you are having difficulty with certain relationships and do not know how to manage them. You might want to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and improve your confidence and self-esteem. Whatever you are going through, talking to someone not involved in your day-to-day life can help you to work though, accept or change aspects of your life and relieve your distress.
Having counselling can be a daunting prospect and difficult to know what to expect. I can offer you a listening ear alongside a safe, empathic and non-judgmental environment to positively support you with any emotional, personal and relationship difficulties you may be experiencing. Rather than giving you solutions, I will instead help you to gain a clearer understanding of what you’re finding difficult and why, which can help to remove any hurdles and highlight the best solution that works for you.
It is important that you feel comfortable to work with me and so to help you with this I offer a free 25 minute online/telephone initial session, which you can book via email, phone call or text. During this time we will discuss what help and support you would like from counselling and any concerns or questions you have. This will give you the opportunity to decide if counselling is the right form of support and if I am the right person for you. If you decide you would like to continue working with me, each individual online/telephone session lasts for 50 minutes, usually on a weekly basis, and depending on what you feel is best for you, I am able to work with you short-term over a period of a few weeks or on a longer term basis. We will work at the pace you feel comfortable and our work together will be reviewed regularly to make sure we are both on the same page and working towards your goals.
