There's a first time for everything. Most newcomers to counselling & psychotherapy start out feeling a little intimidated by the idea of this rather mysterious process. I aim to demystify what I do - clients often comment on what they describe as a down-to-earth and accessible approach. My aim is ultimately to help you understand yourself and your behaviour. I feel that goal is best achieved by working in a non-threatening, straightforward and inclusive way.

Derived from an integrative approach to psychotherapy and counselling, my aim is to shape my practice to the unique needs of each client, rather than attempting to shoehorn people into a pre-determined way of working. The formulation of an individual package based on feedback from the most recent research starts from the very first moment you contact me.
I will normally ask you to commit to an initial 6 sessions - this often proves sufficient for relatively simple issues. For others, the six sessions offers an introduction to counselling/ therapy, where I'm am able to assess needs. At the end of the 6 weeks, we will review the work we've undertaken and decide whether or not more detailed work is required.
