How do I work?

I am a qualified Person Centred counsellor and psychotherapist.

The Person Centred approach believes that as human beings we will always move towards fulfilment and do the best for ourselves, regardless of the situations we sometimes find ourselves in.

Person Centred counselling and psychotherapy focuses on communicating the core conditions of empathy, acceptance and genuineness. By doing this, clients are given what is considered to be the appropriate environment to explore their thoughts and feelings, move towards fulfilment and feel more able to work towards their full potential.

Unlike many other counselling approaches, Person Centred counselling and psychotherapy does not rely on tools and techniques. It focuses on building a warm, professional and therapeutic relationship in which you take the lead and the counsellor facilitates.

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 very honest and genuine in the way I work. I 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 will 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.
