About »
The counselling model I use is 'Person Centred Counselling' also known as the 'Humanistic Approach'. This is a non-directive form of counselling which means I never give advice. Some people may feel that they want advice at first but I would ask you to come to see me with that feeling as that may be part of the problem. I have external supervision (which is required for all counsellors) every four weeks to ensure I deliver the best possible service to my clients. I aim to provide counselling in a friendly, non-clinical and relaxed environment. I work from my own home and have a dedicated study for my practice which has been described by my existing clients as warm and welcoming.
I pride myself on being honest and 'real' and I would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and help to get you to where it is you want to be, delivering you the best service I can. All counselling sessions are dealt with in the strictest confidence.
What a person can typically expect from the 'Counselling Process'
In the early stages of counselling a person can expect to feel a sense of relief in talking and sharing events and feelings about this. In the middle stages of counselling it is very normal for a person to experience feelings of being 'stuck' on one issue or feeling like they are repeating something. (This can be the most challenging and emotional part of the process).
Toward the final stages of counselling a person may start to feel like things are resolving and that they have choices and a greater awareness of why feelings occur. At the end of counselling a person usually feels more confident and is able to move on with their life, feeling happier.
