How does counselling work?
What is counselling?
Counselling/psychotherapy are umbrella terms that cover a range of talking therapies without judgement.
What is the objective?
To help bring about effective change and enhance the individuals well-being by providing coping skills.
How confidential is it?
Counselling sessions are run it the strictest of confidence in line with recognised codes of practice and ethics to protect both the individual and the counsellor.
Do family members get involved?
When appropriate and after mutual consent, sessions can be run with partners or other family members who may be able to play a part in this process of change.

my approach
I offer a warm , compassionate , non judgemental space for clients.
I provide a place to process the present moment, make sense of the past and explore possibilities for the future.
My view of therapy, is that you are the expert of your life, and I will walk side by side with you during each session,
while asking deeper questions to help facilitate understanding and insight.
Having trained and graduated at Iron Mill College with an Advanced Diploma in: Integrative Counselling for adults, I continue to use a variety of counselling theories and techniques that have proved successful
and reflect me as a person and my personality.
This then gave me the foundation of my approach which I built on whilst gaining the Level 5 Certificate in: Counselling Young People, I am more relationship driven than theory based and the approach that models this is person centred.
