I currently have space available so please feel free to contact me. I usually work office hours but I have some limited availability for evenings and weekends. Please do reach out if you would like me to support you on your journey. 

Hello and well done on taking the first step towards finding some help, I know how hard it can feel to do so.

I am a qualified counsellor offering support to adults and young people (14+).

You may be looking for counselling for help with a particular area of your life or perhaps you have a more general sense of unease that everything is not alright in your world. 

I am here to listen to you and to support you whatever your reason for coming to counselling. I work with issues such anxiety & fear, low mood & depression, feelings about yourself and relationships with others, grief & loss, abuse, neglect and other traumatic life experiences.

I offer you a safe space to talk freely about whatever is making life difficult for you. I am here to listen to you and work with you in a non-judgemental and fully accepting way. 

Together we will explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions to help you to find a positive way forward and increase your overall sense of wellbeing.

I am a humanistic integrative counsellor, which means that I support and guide you rather than direct you - you are the expert on yourself and only you know exactly what it is like to be you. With this in mind, we will always work at a pace that is comfortable for you. 

I am calm and caring and I offer full acceptance of whatever issues you may bring to the sessions. I am here to listen and offer you a safe space to explore your feelings, beliefs and behaviours. We will work together to help you reflect upon and process the areas of your life that you are finding difficult. This increased understanding and insight will enable you to make positive change.

I use a predominantly Person-Centred approach which places you at the heart of everything we do. However, I also integrate additional theoretical models and methodology, such as Transactional Analysis and Gestalt, as they are appropriate to you and your journey. In this way, I can draw on different skills to tailor my approach to you as an individual, unique person. It also allows me to adapt as we progress to ensure that our work together meets your particular need at any given point in the process.

Therapy is a rewarding process that can help you make positive changes in many different areas of your life. However, it can feel a little daunting at the beginning when it is all new and unknown. 

With this in mind, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. This offers you the opportunity to ask any questions and to get an initial feeling about my suitability for you and how we can work together. It also allows me to get an understanding of what you are looking for.

Please contact me by phone or email to organise the complimentary phone consultation. You can also find more information via my website www.anchor-counselling.co.uk
