Finding a counsellor can be a bewildering process and I hope that these pages will help you to decide whether I can offer the kind of counselling which will be beneficial to you or to someone you know. 
 
Deciding to have counselling takes courage. It may be that the issues or anxieties you are experiencing are things which you have not shared with any else. A good therapeutic relationship between the client and the counsellor is very important in helping to bring about the positive change you need to improve your life. So it matters that you choose someone who is right for you and with whom you make a positive connection. 
I take an integrative approach to counselling, meaning that the sessions are client-led and I use techniques from a variety of therapeutic disciplines, depending on what is best suited to a client's particular problem. It is your space, and you bring to it whatever you choose. 
 
I offer a confidential, safe place where you are heard. I give you time to explore problem areas in your life within a non-judgemental, open and trusting relationship. This can help you to find resolutions and develop coping strategies. 
 
You may wish to contact me first to discuss your concerns. Then, if you decide that counselling is for you, you can make an appointment for a first session, where together we can decide your goal. 
It may be that you are experiencing difficulties around stressful or traumatic life events, and counselling can be a way of working out how to move forward. You may, for example, be experiencing a painful loss or bereavement, separation, divorce, redundancy. Perhaps you feel you have low self-esteem or are lacking in confidence or are struggling with addiction. Sometimes we all need privacy and space to find a resolution to a situation, and to gain confidence in our ability to manage our own challenges in the future. 
 
Whatever difficulties you may be facing, counselling can be an effective and long-lasting way of dealing with them. For an initial chat please give me a call on 07539 393 686 or fill out the form on the contact me page.
