What I can offer:

I work both face to face and online with clients, offering short term contracts of 4 to 8 sessions, or longer term, open ended contracts if individuals decide that is more suitable for them. For counselling to be effective, it is important that the client wishes to engage in finding ways of managing a particular issue, or a solution to a problem. My work is to be alongside the client and help them to discover how they wish to do this, rather than in telling individuals what they should do. When I begin work with a client, we set up a contract together, which contains practical details, and some information about the Ethical Framework to which governs my work.

For me, the relationship that is built up with clients forms the basis of our work together, and within that relationship I try to match the strategies we use to meet the needs of the individual client and their particular issue.

I work with a wide range of issues, including relationships, career and personal development, work related matters, stress, anxiety and other specific issues.
