Counselling Support.

If you are feeling vulnerable and if you want to talk to me about any fears you have, please know that you are not alone. I am available for face to face counselling sessions. If you are located outside Ealing, West London and have any worries about meeting face to face or are unable to, let me assure you that we can also meet on the phone. I also offer telephone and Skype remote counselling sessions online. 

How counselling can help to support you - What to expect.

You may have a few questions about what to expect from counselling.

Life can be sometimes challenging, confusing and overwhelming. Although we want to make changes in our lives, we feel uncertain of how. We may feel unable able to cope, lost, anxious and vulnerable, unsure of what to do next.

Counselling may help us to see things more clearly, allowing us to make changes in our lives, that we feel that are right for us. Allowing us to connect with our own potential for growth and healing.

What I offer

What I offer is a relational environment where you will find a safe and confidential space to explore your feelings and troubles. I will support you in finding your own pathway through whatever you are experiencing.

I will support you in makings sense of yourself and your experiences, being aware of and listening to the images, sensations and impressions that have meaning for you in relation to what you are experiencing.

Working together

I work in a collaborative, relational way. This ensures that with each individual client, we are able to review the pace and direction of the counselling process, in a way that feels right for you, to ensure you get the most from their counselling experience.

The Person-Centred approach

My approach to the counselling process is the Person-Centred approach, a prizing and empowering approach, a way of being. The Person-Centred Approach is a humanistic approach that believes that people have the innate ability to develop towards their full potential. This ability can sometimes become thwarted by the challenges of life, particularly the experiences that affect our own feelings of self-worth, feelings of self-confidence and our feelings of self-belief

Session fees

I welcome clients to come for a session or initial consultation to explore what you wish to gain from the counselling process. If we choose to work together, we would then meet weekly for a session of fifty minutes. A session or initial consultation costs £45. Concessions are available to Students.

I practice during the day and evenings and I will do my utmost to arrange a session with you at a time that works best for you.
