My Approach

There are many different reasons people choose to have professional counselling. When we work together, I will work with you to understand your problems and work out a way to best support you. It may be we work together for a handful of sessions or it may be that we work on a longer term basis. I will always be open with you and review with you how we both think the sessions are going and if you need anything else. We decide together how many sessions are appropriate and we review this regularly throughout our time together.

 

I work with you in a way so you can explore feelings and emotions without judgement. I am non-directive meaning I do not tell you what to do. I work with you to improve your autonomy as I believe you have the ability to make your own decisions and changes. My counselling style is about empowerment. 

​

I offer a free 30 minute initial conversation or assessment where I can tell you more about my service and I will also find out what it is has brought you to counselling.

​

Our first session, which is an hour long, will be exploratory with me finding out about you, what has brought you to counselling and what you would like to work on in your sessions.
