Counselling and psychotherapy take place in a private and confidential setting. It is a one-to-one collaborative process between the person seeking help and myself.
I provide a safe, calm and confidential environment, where you can identify, explore and work through what is troubling you.
Through the relationship between us, I aim to help you discover and develop new and effective ways of approaching your life.
Counselling might be more appropriate to help you through a difficulty that has arisen recently such as a bereavement or a relationship breakdown. It would be once weekly, open ended. You might feel ready to leave after a few months.
Psychotherapy works with more complex and more established difficulties that are often a result of childhood experiences. This approach is a good way to address more general feelings of sadness or feeling ‘something’s not quite right’. This work would also be once weekly and would be open ended and would allow you as much time as you want to take.
I have undertaken rigorous trainings in counselling and psychotherapy and offer both options within my practice.

It is not uncommon to feel uncertain or anxious about making initial contact with a counsellor or psychotherapist. An experienced practitioner will understand this and is trained to listen and to help with the process.
