My normal practice hours are Fridays only. 

Please contact me by email or text initially or leave a message on my voicemail.

I trained as a Humanistic Existential (HE) Counsellor but now work in a more integrative way.

The humanistic existential approach to therapy therefore seeks to build resilience in clients, empowering them to make choices that will enable them to live a more authentic and fulfilling existence. It focuses on the whole individual and encourages people to think about their feelings and take responsibility for their thoughts and actions. The emphasis is on self-development and achieving their highest potential rather than on problematic behaviour.

Alongside my original theoretical framework (HE) I use some CBT and Solution Focussed tools where specific issues arise such as supporting a client to manage their responses to things such as stress or anxiety (CBT grounding tools), or to focus on options for action to resolve a key issue or challenge (Solution Focussed approaches). This facilitates the client in staying in control of their responses, but also in working to consider what their options are to resolving specific challenges in a planned way.

The key element is client autonomy and recognition that they have agency.

I work with adults aged 18 and over and offer face to face, online or telephone options.

More information is available on my website.

I offer an initial 30 minute session free of charge. 

This is designed to ensure that any questions the client has are answered and to check that clients are happy to work with me.
