In Life certainly in the present days. We are bombarded with directions and advice as to how we should live our lives and this can be very confusing. Issues that we all have instead of being opened up and discussed are simply painted over emotionally to fit in with the expectations of modern living. It can feel a very lonely isolated place for many individuals with no one that they can truly open up to with the pain they may be feeling inside. Previously I have worked in the Armed Forces and Law enforcement. I certainly feel I have experience in working in these arenas, and the difficulties and stresses they can cause an individual.
As a mature individual who has been a BACP Registered Accredited Counsellor with over twenty five years experience. I am trained as a Humanistic Counsellor in the first instance, but also in CBT, EMDR. I have specialised in crisis management whilst working as a Counsellor for the local Government Practice and an Addiction Centre.
I consider myself respectful, confidential, Thoughtful and considerate in life. These virtues are carried over into my counselling practice, together with sensitivity and empathy with all the clients I deal with. If you want to be listened to and have some time perhaps for the first time in your life to really open up about yourself, please contact.
