The general aim of counselling is to provide an opportunity for the client to work towards living in a more satisfactory and resourceful way.

The objectives of a counselling relationship will vary according to the individual client's needs. We all have the tendency to repeat patterns of behaviour and allow our past experiences to affect our present behaviour.

Even though we would like to change, we can often feel unable to. In this model of counselling the relationship between the client and the counsellor is central to the work being done, and painful situations in the present that have roots in the past can be understood in a clearer way.

This understanding allows the possibility of greater freedom of thought and action, leading to change.

I operate a private practice that ensures confidentiality and provides time and space for people to work at their own pace, whatever their issues.

As laid down by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I maintain a strict ethical theraputic code.
