How I Work
My aim is to work in partnership with you towards an open exploration of the aspect(s) of your life that you may wish to clarify or change. I hold the view that there isn't only one model of counselling that helps everyone.
To work in a way that is tailored towards your needs and circumstances I draw upon my knowledge of different counselling approaches.
I have experience and training in the following:
- EMDR Therapy
- Psychodynamic Counselling
- Brief Focal Counselling
- Solution Focused Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Motivational Interviewing
- Performance Enhancement
If you would like more information about the counselling approaches listed above, please visit the BACP website.
You will be offered an initial 50-minute face-to-face assessment session. The first session is used to explore the possibility of us working together.
We can discuss your expectations, goals, any anxieties and any questions you may have. I will also explain my policy on confidentiality, fees, cancellations and appointment times.
You are under no obligation during the assessment session to book further sessions with me as it's important that you find the right person for you to work with.
If we do decide to work together we would arrange to meet for an agreed number of sessions. I usually suggest six weekly sessions and at the end we will decide to end there or to continue depending on what feels right for you.
The following are examples of the issues that I have helped people with:
| Depression | Anxiety | Stress |
| Panic Attacks | Bereavement and Loss | Work Related Issues |
| Low Self Esteem | Low Confidence | Drug and Alcohol Issues |
| Sexual Abuse | Rape | Self Harm |
| Illness | Family and Relationships | Suicidal Thoughts |
| Loneliness | Mid Life Crisis | Spirituality |
