Therapist Profile

My Approach to Helping

I believe that every individual is a unique and beautiful human being, no matter what their circumstances, and in my work with people I encourage them to re-discover their strengths and resources, and to use these constructively for dealing with the issues from the past, and enhancing their futures.

My personal code of ethics is as follows:

1. I will choose the shortest, gentlest and most effective route to helping you achieve your goals, to the best of my knowledge, skills and ability.

2. If I feel that I am unable to help you, for whatever reason, I will do my best to refer you to an appropriate source of help.

3. I will operate a flexible scale of fees and will endeavour to make sure that my help is affordable for everyone who needs it.

4. I will maintain confidentiality of everything discussed in the sessions, unless the information you give me suggests a risk of serious harm to yourself or others. (You can opt for "content-free" sessions, where you do not need to discuss or describe your past or present experiences.)

5. I will not question you unnecessarily about your past, make judgements or criticisms, or tell you to "get the grip". I will instead strive to help you re-discover your inner resources and strengths, and to remind you what a beautiful and unique human being you are.
