Sometimes life’s demands can become overwhelming and we need time and space to work them out.
Counselling can facilitate your development and enable you to heal through a process of self -reflection.
In this safe space, I can provide the environment in which you can explore what is troubling you, without the fear of judgement, or the intrusion of someone else’s opinions.
I am a qualified counsellor, psychotherapist (MBACP & MNCPS Accredited) and Clinical Supervisor who has experience of supporting clients through a wide variety of issues. I also offer Relationship / Couple Counselling & marriage counselling. I believe the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the context in which healing and growth can - and will - take place.
As a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and an accredited member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), I am bound by their Ethical Framework for Good Practice in counselling and psychotherapy, and am subject to their Professional Conduct Procedures.
My work is 'person-centred' which means you and your unique issues and needs are my central concerns. The benefits of counselling can include increased confidence and self-esteem, an ability to cope better, clarification of confused thoughts and feelings, personal insight and the potential to move forward and grow. Because Your Life Matters.
