If you have been thinking that counselling or therapy might be of help to you in your life right now, then I hope you will find these pages useful. It is my intention to offer quality low cost counselling at an affordable price.
Whether you are looking for traditional face to face counselling, or by telephone, internet or email there should be a low cost option to suit you.
I hope you will take a few minutes to look at my site and to 'get to know me better', and to decide if the services I offer are right for you.
I have trained in conventional (person-centred) counselling, and also in cognative behavioural approaches to counselling. I am also aware of the need to be sensitive to any spiritual issues which can arise during counselling sessions. I have completed a two year training programme in interfaith work and spiritual counselling.
My approach to counselling, in line with the person-centred model, is not to offer "quick fix" advice but to practise what is known as non-directive counselling. I am there to offer a space for you to explore whatever issues are important for you and to really listen from the heart. In this way I walk beside you, offering support as you find your own answers and solutions as to how to go forward in your life. This is not to say I will not offer any insights or reflections which I may have. My approach is integrative; that is to say that I will draw from person centred & cognative behavioural models as well as being open to spiritual issues where this is appropriate for the client. Whatever is helpful and appropriate I will share. But I will never be trying to "fix you". You are not broken!
But, you may need to take some time for yourself right now. I would like to support you to do that in whatever way is best for you. There are no stock answers. This is why you need to be listened to .......to be really heard.
If you prefer not to come for face to face counselling, or live too far away, remember that telephone, internet or email counselling may be a good option for you to consider. I practise in London, W9. Please let me know if after viewing my site you require any further advice on any aspect of counselling or if it might right for you. You can find details how to telephone or email me at "contact me" page on this site. Thank you.
I look forward to being of help to you
