What I can offer
I offer a welcoming, non-judgemental, authentic and safe presence. I encourage clients to express and explore their thoughts and feelings about their current situation and about things that may have happened in the past, I have a particular experience within trauma, and have a background in criminology. Counselling is not just a friendly chat discussing the week’s events as you would do with a friend or family member. I will not be offering an opinion or giving advice as they might do (though I may sometimes provide information which I think could help you). A counsellor is an impartial professional who is trained to listen in a non-judgemental way and to work with your emotions while not getting emotional themselves. One of my aims is to help you develop your understanding of yourself and of other people in your life and to help you come up with strategies and solutions for yourself, solutions that will work for you.
PLEASE NOTE: At the present time, I am only offering Telephone or Zoom-call appointments due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.
