My Approach
My Training was originally Psychodynamic which puts you at the heart of the process, and helps us make links between the difficulties you are experiencing today and what has gone before in your past. Over the last 10 years however, I have added a variety of other methods to my practice.
Recognising that each individual is unique, it seems sensible to provide a wider array of techniques so that I can adapt to your needs as they change throughout the therapeutic process.
I provide a warm, confidential environment where you can freely explore what has been going on in your life. I would like to emphasise that this will be a safe place without judgment, and your emotions or experiences will not be a burden to me.
My hope is to assist you in your own journey of discovery and healing, helping you to find your own solutions and accessing the inner strengths, resilience, and resources that you may not realise you possess, And, to provide a haven where you can feel safe to explore at your own pace your inner and outer world, with someone who is equipped to help.
"I had tried counselling before and thought it wasn’t for me. Now I know that finding the right counsellor makes all the difference."
Things I don't do
You should know that I don't give advice, but instead work with you to help you find your own solutions.
I don't use worksheets. We will work each week with what comes up for you and it will be natural and collaborative.
Your therapy will be as unique as you.
I don't use rating/scoring systems.
My practice is fully private and I do not need to provide client scores to anyone.
Your wellness, with me, will not be scored.
Get in touch
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how counselling works, or to arrange an initial assessment appointment.
This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to counselling, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help. I am happy to discuss any queries or questions you may have prior to arranging an initial appointment.
All enquires are usually answered within 24 hours, and all contact is strictly confidential and uses secure phone and email services.
