About Counselling

My approach to counselling is known as person-centred and is based upon the belief that we all have within us the potential for positive growth and self determination which is nurtured within a caring relationship. This means that I, as your counsellor, will help you access your potential for growth and find your own answers to your difficulties.

I aim to offer you a safe and unconditional relationship where you can feel free to explore feelings and thoughts without the fear of being judged. You can expect to feel relief as emotions are openly expressed, to develop self awareness as connections between past and present are made and insights gained into why unhelpful patterns of behaviour have formed.

Research shows that the relationship between counsellor and client is one of the most important factors in producing successful therapeutic outcomes. A good counselling relationship can help you value and accept yourself as you dissolve the blocks which are holding you back.

Couple counselling

You may find yourselves in a crisis or be dealing with longstanding issues, either way communication between partners can become strained or even avoided and arguments endlessly replayed. When working with couples, my role is to support and facilitate both partners to express how they feel so that they can really hear and understand each other. Greater openness and improved communication can help you to understand your difficulties, see the way ahead more clearly and pave the way for change.
