I currently work in schools and colleges in Powys, Wales. I hold the position of Senior Practitioner for KOOTH plc, who hold the current contact for all Counselling services for children, adolescents and young adults in Powys, from the ages of 10 - 25years old.
I offer a fresh, modern approach to counselling and maintain a strong professional ethos which respects the ethical principles set out within the NCS Ethical Framework.
As a Person-Centred Counsellor I have been trained within the 'humanistic' approach.
I believe in working with the whole person, this includes your emotions, thinking, beliefs, family, life situation etc. I will adapt the use of these methods depending on you and your needs.
Fundamentally, I will allow you to lead the way and to express yourself without judgement or criticism from me. This provides a space for personal growth through self reflection. I will do this by showing empathy and understanding, by being honest with you and by accepting you for who you are. I will not give you advice or tell you what you should or shouldn't do, I believe there is far more value in helping you decide things for yourself. I believe that no one knows you better than you know yourself, you are the expert of you. Therefore I am always client led. I will use what feels appropriate and most useful to help you, the individual. Any kind of exercise or activity is strictly by invitation only - you will never have to do anything you dont want to.
