I have been working in this field since 1986 and over these years have worked with individuals and couples plus in house and external work place counselling for many small and large companies
I have also run a number of training courses, especially for companies.

I love my work and consider myself to be very privileged ....that people are prepared to share so much of their lives with me.

I also offer to do an assessment only, so that you can go away and decide on what you want.

I believe in the importance of and maintain ongoing training and supervision for myself.

My philosophy and what I hope to offer/facilitate

It is my belief that we all go through difficult times and experience traumas that affect our lives
Some of us want to address and explore this, with a view to healing.

However sometimes we get stuck and become deskilled.

It is at these times that some of us find it helpful to seek out someone to explore our FEELINGS,THOUGHTS and BEHAVIOURS and for some of us our SPIRITUALITY...maybe to explore our options with a view to changing and taking charge of our lives. Ultimately it is us who has to want to address these.

I am here to help you on this journey....whether short or long. Sometimes this may involve looking into our past.

I believe that we all have the capacity to self heal and that this can be done in a number of ways ....one of these being counselling/therapy.

The job of the therapist is to facilitate this change. This does not mean that I will tell you what to do or that I will suddenly become the expert on your life.

I endeavor to create an environment that is conducive to address this and to use my skills and training to facilitate this process

I try to create a quiet, safe and confidential environment, where we can, at your pace, explore your issues and needs. The environment is in a dedicated room in a house in a residential street with parking nearby.

I suggest an initial session for us to meet and assess your needs. Should we decide that I can be of help then we contract for 6 sessions after which, we would do a review.

We would then work out a further working contract.
