New or end of a relationship, work or home life issues, worries about your own or others health can all benefit from a friendly but professional counsellor. That could be me.

About me and my practice

I have had about 15 years experience as a counsellor working with individuals and couples from 18 to 90 odd.
I work with people of any and every sexuality and culture and go outwards from you- trying to see what the world looks like through your eyes before trying to see what it could like. There is a fundamental respect for you as a person who has made it this far in life as well as someone who wants, in some ways, to go further.
We might well look at what people and ideas in your life mean to you- who and what keeps you up as well as brings you down and see how you could build on your strengths and work at what you see as your weaknesses.
Or, it may be that you are going through a bereavement and want support to process the feelings you are experiencing and the changes that any significant loss will bring. We would work together, at your pace and without any judgement as to what you 'should' be doing.
I may use diagrams, but very rarely worksheets as I have found that people are not very easily or satisfactorily treated as objects who have things done to them.
I have found that most people work better when treated as partners-in-change and this is my approach.

Experience

As I said above, I have worked as a counsellor for over 15 years with individuals and couples.
My previous roles have included: Tesco shelf-stacker, bank manager and teacher as well as lone parent.
I have hidden from the landlord when the rent was due and lived a far more extravagant lifestyle.

Qualifications

Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Therapy and others.

Initial Consultation

This is extremely important - how well can we work together. My experience is that we will either get a definite 'no' or a definite 'yes' from both sides after our first meeting. You will get a 'feel' of me and how I work and I will see if I feel that I could be useful for you at this time.
