About me and my therapy practice
‘We hold all answers within us, if only we would begin’. This genuine belief has been the foundation of my work for the last 25 years that I have practised as a professionally qualified Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Life Coach.
I work integratively and my Person Centred Approach ensures my sessions are tailored to suit individual clients needs.
Where appropriate and applicable, I use Creativity as a tool to enable my clients to explore and express personal dynamics. ie feelings, thoughts and ideas.
If you feel you are ready to start your journey of healing and self exploration then I will provide a safe, confidential space where we can begin.
Practice description
I would describe my practice as intentionally Ethical and in line with the BACP code of Ethics. At the same time I create a warm friendly setting, where confidentiality is guaranteed.
I prefer to work face to face as this aids the professional relationship. However, I do also offer online sessions where appropriate.
I offer clients an opportunity to use art and creativity in sessions and I provide all of the materials required for Art/Creativity sessions.
I also offer walking/talking sessions, again where appropriate.
My first session
My first session includes introduction. An explanation of my working method and a space for ‘getting to know you’.
I will also take questions and will be happy to answer them regarding my work ethic, my experience etc
Everything else is about you. Exploring your issue, allowing the space for you to talk and express your feelings all in a confidential setting.
