Member of the BACP and full public liability insurance held.
Mainly counselling using the Person Centred style, integrating Gestalt, CBT and Solution Focussed Therapies.
My belief is that different styles of counselling suits different people and situations, which is why I prepare a unique counselling style for each person. Counselling is best suited when it is tailored to each individual client depending on their issues and which way the client would feel more comfortable to work through their experiences.
In the counselling room, you the client, are the most important person and the sessions are your sessions to do and discuss what you want. I am there solely to help you look at the issues closely to see what changes need to happen to help you resolve the issues.
