People come to counselling for many different reasons. Sometimes they want to change something, Sometimes the focus is more about accepting things they can’t change. As a person-centred counsellor, I will offer you space to talk through whatever is on your mind without judgment.

There are lots of different types of counselling. You may have heard of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) or Psychodynamic therapy. My approach is person centred. This means that I won’t give you advice on what you should do. Although it may not feel like it right now, you are the person best placed to make your own decisions. I will listen to you in a way that helps me to understand the world through your eyes.

We will usually meet on a weekly basis on the same day and time, unless we have arranged otherwise.

The number of sessions a person has is individual to them. As a general guide I recommend a minimum six sessions however this will be dependent on what you want to bring to therapy and will be discussed with you at your initial consultation. This is also reviewed at stages throughout your counselling.
