How do I work?
I provide Person Centred counselling and psychotherapy. Person Centred counselling has been used by therapists since the 1940s and has developed over the years. The approach believes that as human beings we will move towards fulfilling our potential and doing what is best for us when we are provided with the right relationship in right environment in which the therapeutic core conditions of empathy, acceptance and genuineness can be experienced.

Research has proved the effectiveness of Person Centred counselling and it continues to be one of the most popular ways of working today.

Unlike many others, this approach does not rely on tools or techniques. It focuses on building a warm, professional and therapeutic relationship in which you lead and I facilitate.

As a Person Centred counsellor and psychotherapist I believe that you are the expert in your own internal world and that you are the only person who knows how you truly feel. I am honest and genuine in the way I work and do not provide answers or give quick fixes. If there are any answers I believe that they lie within you, and that my role is to provide the right environment for you to feel more able to access your own internal resources. I only work with what you decide to bring to counselling.

In essence, the counselling is your journey, you are the driver and I am the passenger.
