About me
Hello and welcome to MindMove Counselling.
Due to Coronavirus a lot of my work with you is being carried out via telephone and video. I have years of experience working this way with clients. I am also see a small number of clients face to face. Please contact me for further information.
I am a Registered member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and work with adult men, women & couples.
I have a number of years experience working in the education sector, with teachers. head teachers and support staff.
There can be many things that can bring you to seeking professional counselling and having a safe space with the right therapist, can be of enormous support.
You may feel stuck and I am here to help you find a way to move forward and to help you discover some of the underlying problems behind the difficulties you are experiencing.
HOW COUNSELLING CAN HELP...
For many reasons it can be difficult to speak with family, friends or others you might normally talk to or confide in. People you know may offer advice or pass judgment; our counselling sessions will be free of judgement & strictly confidential.
Being able to speak, without judgement, may provide you with a freedom you are unlikely to have in other relationships. In our sessions together, I support you, I listen to you and we work together to help you make the changes you wish to see.
I will provide time and space for you, in counselling, when you need to be listened to.
When you make contact we can arrange a free 10 minute telephone consultation, where you can ask any questions you have.
My fee's are competitive and can be discussed at point of contact.
