We all can experience times of feeling that we are struggling with what life throws at us. You might be finding life to be overwhelming or feel that you have lost your way. Relationships may repeatedly lead to hurt or feelings of failure. Events from the past may be upsetting you or impairing your confidence. You could be feeling anxious, depressed, or grieving a loss. People go to counselling for many reasons. Whatever the issue that has made you consider counselling, finding the right counsellor for you can lead to the change you want or need.
I have a calm and friendly manner, providing support without judgement to create a safe space for you to discuss your worries and concerns. Counselling presents an opportunity to work together to become aware of underlying issues and to overcome any challenges that may appear, aiding you to find your way forward. My therapeutic approach is integrative, where the counselling process is flexible and tailored to meet your specific needs. I currently offer counselling online and by telephone to anyone within the UK. I am based in Bristol. Having a good relationship with your counsellor is the basis of all counselling. I give a free introductory 30-minute session to discuss the details of therapy and for you to consider if I am the right counsellor for you. I am an individual member of the BACP, am fully insured, and receive regular supervision. I am subscribed to the DBS subscription service.
