About me
I offer counselling to Adults, Young People (16+) and Couples presenting with a range of issues including, but not limited to those listed on this site. I have over 18 years direct counselling experience as well as further experience in the fields of homelessness, addictions, teaching, training and managing services, including a BACP Accredited Counselling Service.
I offer an Integrative approach to counselling which means that I draw on a number of counselling theories in my work including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Person-Centred Practice and Psychodynamic Theory.
One of the benefits of such an approach is that I can be flexible in what I offer clients; if the way we are working together doesn't feel like its addressing your reasons for attending counselling, I can suggest alternative ways of working together.
When we first meet it will be important to establish whether we both feel we are able to work together to achieve the outcomes you would like from attending counselling. We will use our first session to explore this together by talking about what has prompted you to seek out a counselling service, what you hope counselling will help you with and in what ways the counselling service I offer meets these expectations.
Don’t worry if you’re not sure about your reasons for attending counselling or what you hope counselling might help with, we can always look at these uncertainties together.
Above all, we need to establish whether we, and especially you, feel that we can have a good working relationship; the starting point from which we can look together at addressing whatever concerns you wish to bring to counselling.
