Empowering Your Journey

Your Path to Mental Wellness Starts Here

My Approach
"Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care"
- Teddy Roosevelt

I work face to face, online or by phone if this suits you better and the approach is tailored to you as an individual as we are all unique so what suits one person, may not suit another. We may use creative methods if this seems appropriate, we may use worksheets or you may find talking works just fine but it is always driven by you and entirely about you.

Counselling can seem like a scary thing to undertake but it can be a time to stop and allow yourself to consider your emotional wellbeing. It can be transformative and prevent a lifetime of relationship difficulties and feeling that life just isn't the way you want it to be.

We will work together for as long as you want to, as you will know if it is helping or not so there are no obligations. We will plan week by week so you are in total control. My aim is to empower you to lead a more contented life on your terms.
Supervision
Finding the right supervisor can be as daunting as finding the right Counsellor. I use an individualised Integrated approach drawing from several theories and my extensive client work to provide a collaborative working alliance supporting you in your practice, helping enhance your skills and consider professional development required to offer an ethical service to your clients. 

Fees are £50 per hour.

I offer a free, no obligation initial meeting for us to decide if we are the right fit, so please contact me to discuss things further.

Children

I offer 'parental support' initially when asked to work with children. Whilst it might seem more relevant to work directly with the child.

I work with young people in an age appropriate way to help them as they move towards adulthood.
