Counselling

Counselling is an opportunity for you to explore and talk through your concerns in a safe and confidential environment.

This may enable you to feel, think and learn to act more effectively - potentially improving the quality of your life.

Counselling is a resource that is available in different forms for many people. It is not a sign of weakness; contrary to that, it is a positive action in which you may develop new ways of finding solutions to present problems or lessening emotional distress.

Confidentiality

I am a fully qualified counsellor; as a member, I abide by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy’s code of Ethics and Practice.

Counselling is confidential - the only exception is if someone is at risk of severe harm.

I understand that it may be difficult for clients to talk about personal concerns, and I treat my clients and what they say with respect and acceptance.

Personal Development

Part of my work is in the field of personal development as an assertiveness trainer and life coach. This approach works with current life situations and with the view to making positive changes, either in perceptions or in the actions taken.

This work is specific, with measurable outcomes and is useful for work related issues, personal development for positive changes and learning effective and assertive communication.

I also design and facilitate personal development programmes, either on a one-to-one basis, or in small groups.
