To speak in confidence, to be really listened to and understood, and to be accepted without judgement can help us work through whatever difficulties we may be experiencing. Sometimes, the source of current problems lies in past experiences; making sense of these can lead to changes in the present day.

"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart...Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens."
Carl Jung

I work with individuals and couples in an integrative way: that is, I use different models and approaches depending on clients' objectives. I have trained in a number of different approaches, so that I can offer a comprehensive and effective service. Different issues sometimes demand different approaches; what works best for one person may not suit another.

You are the expert on you - I aim to help you find what works best for you. My approach is interactive and collaborative and sometimes involves exploring underlying causes. The first session is spent finding out whether we think we can work usefully together. My aim is to help you increase your understanding of yourself and your situation, to find new ways of looking at whatever is troubling you and to support you while you make whatever changes you may come to think are necessary for your well-being.

You can choose to work in an open-ended way, having as many (or as few) sessions as you wish, or we can agree a specific number of sessions and review (often 5 or 6). Sometimes people find that only one or two sessions are needed, others like to work for longer. Some people like to take a break for a few weeks (or months) and then return. You are free to terminate the counselling at any time, although
it is my experience that, it is usually obvious to both of us when you are ready to stop.

Sessions are normally weekly but can be fortnightly by arrangement. Each session will last for 50 minutes.
