____________ Counselling ____________

My Approach

    My approach to working with individuals or couples is person-centred and non-judgemental, which means that , with genuine care for your well-being I will trust you to use our sessions to find your own answers.

    I can help you clarify thoughts and feelings that are causing confusion or distress. whether you are struggling with the impact of past or recent trauma, current relationship complications, self-worth issues, existential anxiety or the challenges of modern life.

 what to expect

    Counselling is confidential. It has to be so you can talk honestly and openly about yourself and your concerns. 

    My sessions usually last for 55 minutes and can be booked week by week for as long as you find it useful.  

    If you would like to book an initial meeting to see whether you feel comfortable working with me a 20 minute session will cost £25

    Full sessions last for 55-minutes and are typically arranged at weekly intervals, at a fee of £60 per session for individuals and £70 for couples.  

    Some people simply want to come for a few counselling sessions while others may come regularly for many months. There is no maximum or minimum number of sessions you can have, you decide each time whether or not to continue.

________________ Couples _________________

     If you’re experiencing difficulties in your relationship with a partner, colleague or family member, couples counselling is a space for you both to take a fresh look at how you understand and communicate with each other,  and how well your relationship is meeting your individual needs.  

    It can help you to check out the assumptions you each make about the other person, how your relationship has grown or declined over time and what is the work that you each might need to do to make healthy changes. 

    Couples sessions are charged at £70

______  Supervision for Counsellors ______

    I hold an Advanced Diploma in Supervision from the University of Warwick and I welcome experienced counsellors as well as those who are still in training.

    I’ll work with you in a person-centred way, being supportive and accepting as well as challenging at times, helping you to clarify your thoughts and feelings about your counselling practice. My aim is to facilitate a collaborative relationship that is rewarding and developmental for us both.

    As you reflect on your work I will recognise and respect your autonomy as a person and as a counsellor and your freedom to develop your own way of working with clients.

    I will expect you to have membership of a relevant professional body.

    My rate for supervision sessions is £60 an hour

______________  Coaching   _____________

    Clarity about how to achieve what you want and what things you need to change can be surprisingly elusive in our working lives, as well as in our personal lives.  A coach can help you find that clarity, see the options you have and define a path to your goals, whether personal or professional.

    If you’d like to discuss how to fulfil your potential, identify the route to your objectives, see what obstacles may be getting in your way and consider what strategies you might use to overcome them, I can help you see how to get where you want to go.

    I have experience in business as a senior executive myself, trained to coach senior people in multinational corporations and in small enterprises. My experience also spans research, coaching and consultancy in a variety of industries, in both the private and public sectors.

    I coach on a one-to-one basis with individuals and also with groups, either privately or in a work-related setting.

    I am a member of the BACP Coaching Division
