About me and my practice

Taking that first step should never be considered a moment of weakness - instead, it shows the true strength of character.

The first step of the process is taking the first courageous step to seek therapy.
Taking this first step can be empowering and may feel a bit scary at the same time, but the best results are achieved by talking it out, with the assurance of knowing that you will not be judged, but met with empathy and understanding.

Whatever the counselling approach or combination of approaches turns out to be best for you, you can be sure that the counselling you receive will be professional but warm. Youll get the help you need. Counselling can sometimes be challenging, but you will always be fully supported and never judged or made to feel small.

In our first session, I can usually provide you with an awareness of how counselling may be able to help you. Its also sometimes possible to indicate how long I feel we may need to work together though of course this depends completely on what you want from therapy and may change as the work progresses. You will never feel rushed or pushed out of your depth; we go at the pace which is right for you.
So that counselling sessions stay on a professional footing and support you best, counselling has strong boundaries.
I wont impose my beliefs or opinions on you. What you say in a counselling session will be kept confidential.

Theoretical approach, warmth and genuineness, along with the clear boundaries, work together to ensure that you feel heard, understood, cared for, able to be open and to be yourself. Then through the counselling process, you can freely explore, heal and grow.
