About me:
I offer confidential, professional counselling for adults, young people, and couples, with evening and daytime appointments available. I also offer these reassurances:
Whatever comes up in our counselling sessions, I won't judge you or make assumptions about you. I will listen to you, not talk at you. I won't try to impose my ideas on you or to tell you what is right and wrong. I won't try to force any advice onto you or tell you what to do.
I will support and help you in finding your way. I will offer you the opportunity to talk about and explore what is going on in your life, to understand yourself and your relationships more clearly, and to find ways of working through and dealing with the issues and difficulties you are facing.

Code of ethics:
BACP
Theoretical approaches:
Person CentredThis approach says we're born with the ability to reach our full potential, but our early experiences may alienate us from our true self.
The therapist seeks to be open and willing to express their own identity without hiding behind expertise or degrees. They also provide other conditions needed for the client's growth:
1) Unconditional positive regard (acceptance and appreciation of the client).
2) Empathic understanding (seeing things through the client's eyes). , ExistentialThe exploration of meaning and value and learning to live authentically (i.e in accordance with your own ideals, priorities and values).
Authentic living means being true to yourself and honest about your own possibilities and limitations, continually creating your own identity even in the face of uncertainty about everything in the future except the eventual arrival of death. It means living deliberately, rather than by default.
The existential therapist facilitates the client's own encounter with themselves and works with them in the job of exploring and understanding better the client's values, assumptions and ideals. The therapist avoids imposing their own judgement, but instead engages seriously with what matters most to the client, helping them to elucidate and elaborate on their own perspective - so that ultimately they're able to live life well and in their own way. and IntegrativeIntegrating knowledge and skills from different therapies: integrating the core values and assumptions underlying different approaches to counselling into a meaningful whole that fuses with the counsellor`s own personal values. .
