Monday,Tuesday & Wednesday 9am am-7pm. Face to face preferred but will do some on-line work.

Hello, I work from a Person Centred/Huimanistic approach enabling the client to allow to find their own solutions and help them to begin to grow into 'their own counsellor' in the future.  I  work 'holistically' with my clients meaning its not just the words that speak, body responses are a huge indication to what is not being said.  I am able to offer short term or solution focused sessions and longer term work, often clients return after several months to continue or 'top up' on certain issues. I have a fairly flexible approach to sessions and times offering up to 1.5 hrs for a session.

I work to the clients needs. Initially each session the client talks about what it is that is troubling them that session I only help when they seem to be struggling with words.  So this could mean using what was discussed previously or gently stating that it seems they are struggling to talk. We can discuss what it is they would like to achieve perhaps in short term or solution focused therapy. Or we can 'see where we go' with ongoing sessions with a review for both of us at given times along the way. 

When we meet/speak for the first time I will listen to your requirements and agree terms between us i.e  times, confidentiality,  payment, missed appointments etc.

I know new clients come with urgent need to tell their story so I try to keep my introductions and terms brief and a written agreement will be given to you to sign at the end of our first session.
