How I Work

As a Humanistic and Integrative counsellor, I believe that the relationship between client and counsellor is very important. I am understanding, accepting and genuine. I also believe that the early environment is important and that our earliest experiences can affect how we think and behave in later life. Talking about our difficulties can help us make sense of them, and move on. If talking becomes too difficult, I can use creative materials to help you express yourself. I aim to work with you to help you find your own solutions.

Usually sessions are weekly for fifty minutes and cost £38. I am able to offer some sessions at a reduced rate for people who are on a low income. The number of sessions required will depend on your individual needs.

I offer a one hour initial assessment session at a reduced rate of £25. This will give you the opportunity to decide whether counselling will be of help to you and if I am the right person for you to work with. It will give you a chance to explore some of the feelings you are experiencing, and get a feel for the way I work. You will be able to ask any questions you may have, and decide if you wish to continue.
