I qualified in Humanistic Therapeutic counselling and Trauma Therapy and I work from my core Person Centred beliefs and trust in you having within you what it is you need to be all of who you truly are.
I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists and also the National Counselling Society. I hold a basic DBS certificate and I undertake regular clinical supervision with a registered supervisor.
Fundamental to how I offer counselling is the provision of a safe, confidential and non judgemental space for you to explore any aspects of your life, your feelings, your thoughts, your relationships or experiences that you feel may be impacting or have impacted on your mental and physical well being and to work with you to find the best ways to support you in your exploration and to finding the best ways forward.
I believe that we all have within us what it is we need to live our lives to the full.
If you have not experienced counselling before you may not know what to expect or what is expected.
Following your initial enquiry I will aim to respond to you within 24hours.
I offer a 30 minute free call to offer you information about my style of counselling and what I can offer; how I protect your privacy and to discuss what you may be hoping for from counselling for you to see if it is what you are looking for and how you feel talking with me. If you decide that you would like to proceed we can discuss whether you would like face to face, online or phone and book in an appointment. I will also ask to take some personal details and I will provide written details of our working agreement and my privacy policy for you to sign and keep a copy .
