Choosing your counsellor can be a difficult decision. Take your time. You need someone you feel comfortable with. Someone you can learn to trust. A good client counsellor relationship is one of the keys to successful therapy.
About me and my practice
I work with individual adults, over 18 years of age. My modality (way of working) is called the person centred approach. I am a pure person centred practitioner.
You may not know what brings you to counselling and that is fine. I have a broad range of experience and knowledge and a broad mind. Whatever comes up for you I am confident we can handle it.
I offer a free 20 minute appointment so you can ask any questions before committing to working with me.
My job is to be with you while you do whatever exploration you want to do, we work with whatever you bring.
I have more about how I work and the person centred approach on my website.
