Counselling is a therapy that allows you to explore with your counsellor a wide range of emotional issues that may be causing you trouble in your life. Many of us go through events that shape us and some experiences encountered on your life’s journey may leave you troubled or lost . My aim is to provide you with a safe and confidential place where you can explore these issues and find your way back to becoming the person you were born to be.

What happens in a session ?
In the first session we draw up a working agreement to define the boundaries, times of sessions, levels of confidentiality and anything else you wish to be included. After this you are free to use the time to explore what has brought you to counselling. Sessions are usually 50 minutes and the same time each week but this is only a guide. You may only have one session or as many as you feel you need. I usually do a review after every 4 which enables us both to see what progress is taking place and to ensure we are focused on your needs.
