Counselling is a process which promotes change and personal growth. I offer both short and
long-term interventions based on well-established talking therapies.
My approach is integrative. This means that I draw on different counselling and therapeutic
approaches in order to work in a unique and flexible way with you and the issues (past, present
and future) that you bring into the counselling room.
I base my work with individuals on person-centred theory: it is important that you know you
have choices and that when we work together I will respect you and the decisions you make.
Our relationship needs to be based on trust and genuineness so that we can work co-operatively
together. Other approaches which inform my work include psychodynamic and systems theories.
People come to see me for a variety of reasons, including:
• relationship and family difficulties
• bereavement
• trauma
• loss
• work-home balance
• health
• difficulties at work/school/college/university
• childhood emotional and sexual abuse
• domestic violence
• stress
