Whatever the concern, talk face to face or online, and we can decide how I can help you. You will feel listened to and given the time and space to explore and reflect on how it is for you with no fear of being judged or criticized is important. This, I feel, helps the client reach their own resolution, which is what counselling is all about.
I work with the assumption that my clients are seeking a resolution to the difficulties they may have, in terms of their emotional state. My experience informs me that when clients enter an accepting counselling relationship, they can freely express their emotions and feelings, thus can then come to terms with negative feelings, which may have caused emotional issues… and can then go forward and further develop their own inner resources. I believe strongly in my clients' personal power to grow, with the freedom to change.
I passionately believe in the powerful effect that a good counselling relationship can have on a person. I have 16 years of professional experience in many fields of counselling, therefore I offer a relationship that enables the changes you want to be possible. Through the Humanistic approach clients who seek to resolve and deal with a wide variety of psychological issues can do so in a safe and supportive environment.
I welcome all regardless of whether you man, woman, individual, all couples i.e. same-sex couples teenagers elderly, or disabled race - regardless of who you are, we will work together to resolve the problem or adjust or accept a situation. Working to help you understand the root of the problem and then help you make the changes necessary for you to manage or overcome the issue in a healthy and positive way.
An important factor in determining the speed and success of your recovery is your choice of therapist. I will hear you, It is important to choose someone with whom you feel comfortable sharing your innermost thoughts, knowing that whatever you say is held in complete confidence; that you will be heard with care and without judgment.
