I work from a psychodynamic approach which, while looking at what your issues are now, in the present, is based on making links to past experiences. This can help us to understand why we behave or react the way we do. The counselling relationship is very important and takes place in a safe environment with firm boundaries.

Sessions are weekly, on the same day and at the same time each week.

Areas I Deal With:

• Abuse

• Anxiety

• Attachment Disorder

• Bereavement

• Depression

• Feeling Sad

• Loneliness

• Low self esteem

• Low self confidence

• Panic attacks

• Relationship problems

• Self-Harm

• Sexuality

• Stress

• Suicidal thoughts

• Trauma

• Work related stress

How Long Will it Take?

I understand that every person is different. The work tends to be open ended to allow each client to work at their own pace and I review this with clients on a regular basis. This is usually to work on things that you may have been struggling with for a long time and may take 6 months to a year or can last for several years.

Some clients may want to set the number of sessions from the outset, (say 6-12 sessions), to perhaps focus on one particular issue, and that is also possible.

Fees

Individual Counselling: £60 for 50 minutes

Some concessions may be available for people on low income and this can be discussed at our first meeting.

I like to arrange an initial 50 minute consultation to assess what has brought you to counselling, to get some understanding of your hopes and expectations, and for us both to decide whether we would like to work together. I do charge £60 for this session.

Please get in touch by phone, where you can leave a message, or by email and we can arrange a time for us to talk.
