Counselling offers numerous benefits, including improved mental well-being, better communication, enhanced self-awareness and the ability to address difficult emotions and life events. It can also help individuals develop coping strategies, manage stress, and build stronger relationships.

By offering a confidential place you can talk about yourself and your life, which may, at times, be confusing and you may feel uncomfortable, angry or unhappy. A place, where you are free to work through any issues or difficulties. By thinking  and talking openly about yourself and your concerns you can take the first steps to making changes in your life.

I do this by listening to the way you feel and how this affects you, accepting the way you are without judging and working with you to enable you to make the changes that you want to happen. I understand that it is not always easy to talk about problems and to express your feelings so I aim to bring warmth and empathy to enable you to talk about those things that bother you.

I see the quality of the engagement, between the client and counsellor, as the main therapeutic agent so I offer the first half hour of the first session free, for us to see how we can best work together.

It is usually best to have weekly sessions, at least to start with, but the frequency of sessions can be negotiated to suit your needs.

Appointments times are available from early morning through to the evening, at the end of each one-hour session we can find a mutually acceptable time to meet again.
