My Practice

I work in line with the professional and ethical standards of both the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and the Person-Centred Association (TPCA).

  

If you’re thinking about counselling for yourself, I know this is a brave first step you’re taking. I’m here to try to really hear and understand you and your pain or distress. My role isn’t to tell you what to do, but to offer a nurturing space where you can feel valued, heard, and accepted. 


As a person centred counsellor, I offer a non-judgemental space to my clients, they’re in control and can decide what to talk about at their own pace. I don’t have a big bag of tricks or different scary techniques to drill into their mind. It’s just me and my client trying to understand what’s going on for them, to make sense of thoughts, pain or distress. Counselling often helps people just find the words they need or perhaps felt scared to say. It can help the mind become less tangled, more focused so you feel able to deal with life.


I offer a free telephone consultation which gives us an opportunity to understand each other and discuss the counselling process.
