Counselling

Counselling provides a safe and confidential space to talk through and try and make sense of your current challenges. I work in a way that is supportive and insightful which can help clients develop a greater understanding of themselves along with giving them insight and self- acceptance. By looking at your problem from a different perspective can help uncover strengths and inner resources which you may have previously been unaware. As a result confidence and emotional resilience can be built upon.

I HAVE EXPERIANCE OF WORKING WITH:

FEELINGS

Stress, anxiety, depression, loss, bereavement, anger, fear, loneliness and poor self-esteem

THINKING

Challenging negative thought patterns and behaviours

BEHAVIOURS

Challenging negative behaviours that consistently result in feelings of failiure which can result in you never achieving your goals

Couples Counselling

Working with couples is another interest of mine. I formally worked on a placement at Relate and undertook their training. I can help you work on a variety of relationship difficulties including improving communication techniques or can help you end your relationship in a positive way so that you are better able to move on with your life.

Systemic Family Counselling

Once again working within social work for many years has given me a great deal of experience of working with families which often has included dealing with families with complex and challenging dynamics. I work following a systematic approach. This includes creating a safe space within the therapy room and enabling each family member to feel heard with the aim of finding a resolution and understanding of the presenting problem.

Fees

My fees are £50 for individual therapy and £60 for Couple Counselling (Family Counselling is POA), I believe therapy should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation and have made available some daytime appointments to offer slightly reduced rate sessions (spaces limited), please ask if my fee is too high for you.

I take cash or card payments, at the start of the session. I also offer invoices and bank transfers (payable in advance).

Fees and payment methods can be discussed as part of an initial assessment.
