Practise Description
As a humanistic counsellor, theory and practice influence my work. I approach counselling with an integrative framework, which allows me to be flexible and adaptable and tailor my approach to meet my client's unique and diverse needs.
What suits one person doesn't necessarily work for another. I am committed to finding the right approach or a combination of approaches to suit you.
I try to understand and recognise your unique experience, your life, your relationships with yourself and others, and the world around you.
Here, I can support you as we explore the problems and issues that have been challenging for you in a non-judgmental, safe, and confidential environment, giving you time to explore, express and reflect on the difficulties you may be experiencing.
It is a protected time for you and me to work together on areas of your life that are causing you concern or making you feel out of balance.
Most of my training and work as a counsellor has involved really learning to listen to people, hearing the 'feelings' behind their words, and sensing their profound feelings of hurt, happiness and fears. My experience is that when someone is really 'heard' in this way, therapeutic healing can occur.
I enjoy the different values and beliefs each person brings to our counselling sessions. Working with clients from different family, social, ethnic, cultural, and educational backgrounds means the sessions are also tailored to each person's needs.
I have been fortunate to have received positive feedback from clients on how their lives have improved.
Types of Therapy:

Our First Session
I want to learn about you. I appreciate choosing the right counsellor to explore and express difficult thoughts and feelings may feel daunting.
At the heart of my counselling approach is my core belief that establishing a connection with your counsellor is essential.
Research indicates that the most significant factor influencing the success of your treatment is your relationship with your counsellor. The feeling of being genuinely 'heard and understood' and, equally important, building trust with your counsellor so you can speak openly is at the heart of the therapeutic relationship.
During our first session, we will discuss what brought you into counselling and what you would like to aim and achieve. We will establish if I am the right counsellor for you and whether I feel I can help you.
Your aims will be reviewed as the counselling sessions progress to determine whether the counselling is working for you.
If you decide to proceed, we will schedule a 60-minute counselling session. I am willing to work with you for as few or as many sessions as we agree are appropriate. We can discuss and adjust the frequency to better suit your needs. Some clients choose to meet every week, while others might prefer to reduce the frequency of the counselling as they progress to the end.
You are under no obligation and can end the counselling at any time as it is really what feels right for you.
I work with adults of all ages, young people, and also trainees.
