Counselling & Psychotherapy

I’ve been providing counselling and psychotherapy to adults and adolescents for over twenty years. 

​

During the initial sessions I gather information about a client and the problem/s they want help with. We then work together to explore the problem and formulate a program of treatment strategies that will help them resolve their difficulties. The strategies and approaches used will vary from client to client, depending on the nature and severity of their problem (or symptoms), their goals, values, and circumstances.

​

I believe that all people have value and are deserving of happy and fulfilling lives, and as a result, I promote personal wellbeing by helping people to:

• Explore thoughts, feelings and personal experiences in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

• Identify personal strengths and abilities, and develop self-compassion.

• Understand the psychological themes and behavioural patterns that may be self-defeating.

• Develop skills and strategies to meet life’s challenges with courage and confidence.

• Discover new possibilities, options and choices in life.
