I am currently not taking on any new clients until September. If you contact me I will respond as soon as possible but please note I will not be working consistent hours throughout the summer, it may take me a while to get back to you.

Hello and welcome to this little blurb about me, what I do, how I work and how I can be of help to you.

You may be flicking through this page because you are struggling with something right now, or would like a bit of help figuring some things out. You may also be wondering how to decide on choosing someone when there are so many people to choose from! Hopefully some of the following information will help you figure out whether me and my approach are for you.

My personal take on counselling is that it provides a safe space where thoughts, feelings, behaviours, past experiences, future plans and so on, can be untangled and explored alongside another human being. Sometimes it may be that there are certain things we feel unable to share with other people in our day-to-day lives - as a counsellor, my aim is to enable you to voice whatever it is that you need to voice in a therapeutic space characterised by warmth, empathy, openness and a non-judgmental attitude on my part.

I would describe myself as an 'integrative counsellor' - what I mean by this is that I integrate ideas from several different therapeutic approaches in my work with clients. My work draws mostly upon existential psychotherapy and the person-centred approach but I may also, occasionally, use ideas from other approaches such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT).

Although what kind of counsellor I am may be important to you, what may be more important is that I am client-led, meaning that I will tailor therapy to your individual needs. I believe everybody has their own unique view of the world, and their own unique collection of reasons for seeking out counselling, and that this should be respected and worked with in counselling sessions. I work in a collaborative way and believe that counselling is a collaborative process and, hopefully, a process that could be useful to you.

If you have further questions, or would like more information, then please do not hesitate to contact me. If you leave me a message or email me I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can, however, please note that my current working days are Tuesday and Wednesday.

Please note - if you call and I don't answer my phone:

Please leave a voicemail message with a name and contact number that you are happy for me to call you back on. For data protection and privacy reasons it's difficult for me to call you back unless you've done this. It's especially important if you call me from a landline number. Alternatively, you can drop me a text or email and I'll get back to you asap.
