Philosophy

It is the relationship that creates the environment for the client to make changes within their lives – I see myself as the facilitator not adviser.  I also believe that it takes an enormous amount of courage for clients to come to counselling, I always  remember to acknowledge and respect each client as a unique person.

Training

To become a Counsellor was a journey for me in my own personal growth and development, I have made discoveries about myself and been open to the process of learning and to understand myself and to enable in turn, to help my clients.  I am aware of my own processes and in turn of others, I make choices about my processes and change them if they do not fit the situation.  I have changed the way I view life and endeavour to live an honest and more congruent existence in the world.

The therapeutic relationship

Facilitates the healing process and that ultimately with my support and facilitation,  clients can discover for themselves, the answers to questions that they may bring to the counsellor.

Practice

I work across several modalities an Integrated Counsellor as  it can be helpful to call on other methods and interventions and I am confident and happy to do so if the situation arises within that relationship.  I believe that Counselling should be tailored to the clients needs.
