Individual Counselling 

"Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring out them all out, just as they are, chaf and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breadth of kindness blow the rest away"

George Elliot

I am currently providing sessions On-line or Telephone sessions only

If you are considering counselling, you might be feeling a little anxious about discussing painful memories, experiences, or your present circumstances and the problems you are facing. I completly understand how difficult this may be for you. I will always work with you, at your own pace, provide a safe, confidential and supportive environment where you feel comfortable, and able to talk about the issues/experiences that are affecting you the most. My aim is to support you through these difficulties, and help you find a way forward.


You may also wonder what I should expect from a counselling?                 

During our first session, I will explain how I work and respond to any queries you may have. We will discuss your circumstances and what you hope to achieve from counselling. Should I feel I am not able to assist you, I will suggest other agencies that may be more appropriate

If you decide you would like to continue to work with me, together, we will discuss frequency and number of sessions, as this often depends on your circumstances. Some people find just a few sessions are enough to resolve a particular problem, while others  where the problem is more deep-seated, or rooted in the past. Or suffered a traumatic sudden death, often require longer term counselling.  
Please note:  There is no pressure placed on you to commit to any amount of sessions -more than you wish.

I work on a time sensitive, or long term basis. For various reasons, or ongoing circumstances, I also see previous clients for as many sessions as needed, on an open ended basis.

I use a combination of skills derived from humanistic and integrative approaches to counselling, which include Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Solution Focused, and Transactional Analysis to suit your circumstances and individual needs.  I believe the quality of the client counsellor relationship should be based on trust, empathy, and -therapeutic for the client. I offer a warm, empathic, safe and non-judgmental environment to help people safely explore their current or past situation and enhance their understanding of self

I am sorry I am currently not able to accept new clients
