My Approach

As a Person-centred Counsellor (the approach in which I chose to train initially) I set out to put you, the client, in the driving seat of your own therapy.

My aim is to ensure that I provide a setting in which you feel safe, that anything you bring is treated with respect and is held in confidence according to the BACP Code of Ethics and that it is accepted in a non-judgemental manner. As a relationship of trust is built up between the client and the counsellor, so the possibility of new choices and a way ahead can become clear. I seek to enable you to find your own solutions to problems, understand yourself better and uncover new options to enable your discovery of a more fulfilling lifestyle.

I have many years of experience working in a variety of settings, both at home and overseas. I have combined trainings in a number of approaches. This gives me a choice of ways of helping clients and enables me to pick the one most suited to your needs.
