Counselling and psychotherapy

Counselling does help

If you want to feel better than you do now, counselling does help. It gives you the chance to talk in confidence, the time to make sense of past experiences and current problems and the support to start living with a greater sense of wellbeing.

Working with me is a flexible process negotiated to suit your personality and your hopes for counselling. The core psychotherapy I offer integrates CBT and client-centred counselling with other approaches where appropriate and within the limits of my training. I listen carefully to the issues you bring, with a clear agenda to help you find your way towards your goals. I am a registered BACP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, clinical supervisor and lecturer.

We will complete an assessment in the first session and plan our work together (see Planning). Counselling is challenging and often tiring, so my aim is to make sure our sessions are safely contained and that focused work is supported by helpful, therapeutic conversation. We have a shared responsibility to keep track of your progress. Your responsibility is to be open and honest, taking time to say how you feel and how you would like things to change. My responsibility is to make sure that every session gives you the opportunity to lighten the load.
