Hi my name is Chris and I have been working as a counsellor for 26 years. As well as having a small private practice, I spent 12 years working in schools with parents who came with a variety of issues - domestic abuse, loss and bereavement, sexual abuse, lack of confidence and self esteem, trauma and adverse childhood experiences. Experience has confirmed for me that a relationship of trust, understanding and empathy needs to be developed before personal growth can start - I feel this is my area of strength.
I provide a safe non judgemental space where there is the freedom to say what is troubling you and to fully explore your feelings and thoughts, encouraging self empathy and facilitating self acceptance. I offer a free 20 minute getting to know you and see if we want to work together session! If we do decide to go ahead weekly sessions are an hour long.
Coming to counselling requires courage - it is important to find a counsellor who you feel comfortable with. I wish you a positive therapeutic journey with whoever you chose to accompany you.
