What is Counselling?

Counselling and counsellors come with many labels and titles that can be confusing. As an Integrative Counsellor I am trained in and use Psychodynamic (Freudian), Existential and Person-Centred (Rogerian) models which place great importance on forming a relationship between client and therapist that is safe, non-judgemental and confidential . Often theoretical approaches are not discussed or chosen and simply evolve as the relationship forms and the client’s needs dictate.

In the past I have worked with clients on a wide range of issues including anxiety, addiction, loss, adjusting to a life change, relationship issues with partners, family and friends, and issues around work, in particular redundancy, promotion, and work relationships with colleagues and business partners.

I am happy to work with individuals to use counseling as a self development tool for all aspects of their lives.
