More Info About My Practice

Counselling is about change, helping you sort out your thoughts and feelings so you are in a stronger place to act, helping you to discover your strengths and resources, understanding and identifying the dynamics of your situation and making your own goals and plans. The main concern in the counselling relationship is your well-being, opening your awareness and working in a safe respectful, effective and ethical manner. The counsellors role is to support you to change what you want to change, this may or may not involve including your partner and children in some sessions. Change is a process that you have to actively participate in. It may mean experiencing a whole range of feelings and trying out new behaviour, ways of being, at first this is not always comfortable. Sometimes you will feel challenged. The ultimate goal that most people want is happiness. Give yourself the gift.
