I believe in creating a warm, safe and confidential environment from which you can explore the difficulties you face, rediscover your strengths and make changes that will improve your life. My aim is to help you to know yourself, independent from the views of others. This can involve challenging long held beliefs and perceptions and this I do in a supportive, educative and non-judgemental manner.
I offer a pluralistic approach to counselling based on the principles of Person Centred Therapy (PCT). I focus on providing the time and space to explore and discuss the issues which may be troubling you. A pluralistic approach means I use different therapeutic approaches in my work alongside you such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic theory and transactional analysis (TA). During sessions with me you will be able to explore your thoughts and feelings free from concerns of rejection or judgement.
