About Counselling

As a person-centred counsellor, I believe in a person's potential for growth and recognise the uniqueness of each individual. Through counselling I would hope to offer you space and time to be listened to, to be heard and understood, with empathy but without judgement.

 

Each person will deal with, and bring to counselling, issues that are unique to them. These issues can include:-

 

Anxiety                         Self-doubt, self-esteem, self-confidence               Anger

Bereavement               Negativity                                                                 Depression                 

Loss                              Cultural Issues                                                          Addictions

Retirement                   Disability                                                                   Attachments

Health                           Employment difficulties                                          Grief               

Relationship issues     Weight loss/Stopping Smoking                              Fertility issues

​

As we work together with these issues I aim to offer a ‘talking therapy’ that is both confidential and responsive to your own feelings and beliefs.

​

I am a qualified and BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy) Accredited Counsellor and offer you a caring and supportive place to talk about where you are in your life and your hopes for the future. I would like to help you explore how you approach life and relationships. We can talk about strategies you can use to look at the way you view yourself, others and the challenges life brings. By the end of counselling, I would hope that you would be in a stronger position to cope with the present and look forward to achieving a more fulfilling life in the future.

I aim to provide a high quality, professional, affordable counselling service for people who feel that counselling may help them overcome personal distress. As a BACP Accredited Counsellor, Registered Member MBACP (Accred), I abide by their Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am fully insured and have an up to date and enhanced CRB check. I work with adults, children and young people.

APPOINTMENTS & FEES

It can be difficult to take that first step and contact me so I have tried to make this experience as easy and supportive as possible.   All enquiries are treated confidentially and you can contact me by text, email, or personally by telephone.  You do not have to give any identifying details or commit to anything on your initial contact.  You can speak to me, or make an appointment for an initial session, to see if you feel I am the right person for you to work with. 

I hope you feel that you can take that important first step for YOU and your well-being and contact me to experience counselling in a relaxed and relaxing environment.

Counselling sessions usually last between 50 minutes to an hour and cost £55. As well as face-to-face sessions, I also offer telephone, Zoom, Skype and email counselling with evening and weekend appointments available.
