Counselling

Using a tailored approach, unique to you

As your counsellor, I will tailor the way I work to best support you, based on what you want counselling to achieve. Usually this will involve using evidence-based skills and theory rooted in the combination of Person-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic approaches that best suits your individual needs. You can find out more about these approaches in the FAQs.

Purposeful, relational and ethical

I will help us create a safe and collaborative space in which you are able to talk freely about what is distressing, preoccupying or concerning you. The expectation is that counselling should help, that looking together at what is going on will help you understand your situation, either now or in the past, better. For instance, we might explore your patterns of relationships in the past and then apply the insight we gain to your current relationship problems. 

Talking issues through together can help you reframe how you see things. This can then lead to you making changes and moving forward in life more positively. As an accredited member of the BACP I work in line with their Ethical Framework respecting your autonomy as a client and maintaining safe and professional standards.

Working purposefully, relationally and ethically is at the heart of my practice and I invite you to get in touch for an initial session to see if my approach is one that might help you, where you are right now.
