Choosing to engage in counselling is a deeply personal decision. Sometimes, speaking confidentially with someone outside your immediate circle of friends and family can illuminate new perspectives. As your counsellor, I provide a consistent, safe space for you to delve into your thoughts and feelings, and to examine the concerns influencing your present situation. With a supportive environment and encouragement, you'll discover effective coping strategies and gain fresh insights about yourself, empowering you on your journey toward a brighter future.

I wholeheartedly believe in the transformative power of counselling and the incredible potential each individual possesses for growth and positive change. These beliefs form the cornerstone of the Person-Centred approach that I practice and am deeply passionate about. In the Person-Centred approach, you—the individual—are the focus. Together, we will work on uncovering your unique solutions to your challenges, because ultimately, you are the expert on your life.

In addition to the Person-Centred approach, I also incorporate Transactional Analysis into my practice. This approach involves understanding your 'ego states' and 'transactions', as well as examining 'script behaviour' to gain insight into your patterns of behaviour and communication. By delving into these areas, we can work together to address and transform unhelpful patterns, fostering more effective communication and behaviour.

In my role as a counsellor, my goal is to create a supportive environment that allows you to explore your difficulties freely, without fear of judgment. To facilitate this, I offer three ‘Core Conditions’:

• Unconditional Positive Regard – You will be listened to without judgement.

• Congruence – I will always be honest with you.

• Empathy – I am here to support you on your journey.

By adopting this non-directive approach, you are encouraged and empowered to explore your feelings and thoughts in an environment where they are valued. This process of self-discovery will foster growth and enable you to effect positive change in your life. Together, we'll navigate your path towards self-understanding and personal development.
