I also have over fifteen years’ experience of working in one-to-one and group-settings in the substance abuse field. Based at my home address in a purpose built therapy room in Stoke Bishop, I aim to create a safe and trusted place where you can talk openly at your own pace. What can I expect? Initially, coming to counselling may feel like a challenging experience. However, I can assure you, it does get easier. The relationship we form is the most important and beneficial component. I will be there to listen and support you with whatever you want to bring. If it matters to you, it matters. All emotions and feelings are welcome - tears and laughter too. There are no expectations about how you should be in the counselling room; our only aim will be to work towards your personal goals and seek out positive change. How Counselling Can Help You? It may be that you are experiencing some difficulties or unwelcome feelings in your life which has led you to look for a Counsellor, or it might be that you are lacking fulfilment or direction. It can be very empowering and healing to talk about your struggles with a trained professional. I aim to provide a welcoming, confidential and non-judgmental space in which you can explore these issues and find ways forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d933b0e7b769d27a34023b3/1629288272377-R0WJEF935CVQS1II8EOB/073C2CC9-FE0E-4467-89D7-AE2788B43AB1.jpg Home - Session Info; I work on Monday morning, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 10am-3.30pm Counselling sessions are 50 minutes long.

My solutions may not be yours, so I can offer information but I will not advise you on what to do, but empower you to find the answers. As an integrative counsellor I am trained to draw on a variety of skills and theories that best suits you as an individual. I can also work creatively, with drawing, life-lines and shell work if you would like to use different forms of expression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d933b0e7b769d27a34023b3/1572985428959-V8XRS97ECQO8AC9ZWIOG/image-asset.jpeg About me - Also….
