• Put simply, it is the meeting of two people; you, as the Client, and me, as the Counsellor, in a safe and strictly confidential space where we can work through emotional/difficult material brought by you with the aim of making things more manageable, achievable and contained – you can read more about Counselling here.

• Good question – I passionately believe that Counselling has the ability to change anyone’s life. That being said, Counselling is only as effective as the motivation for change behind it. The same applies with regards to the timing being right and finding the right counsellor for your specific needs – you can read more about me here. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation in order for you to get to know me a little better and to try and answer any other questions that you may have in order to help you make your decision about starting Counselling with me.

We can discuss this during our assessment session and can keep an eye on any progress throughout our work by regularly checking in.

• Put simply, anyone is welcome in my Counselling practice from both majority or minority backgrounds – if I am not able to work with you for a particular reason I will offer to refer you on to another counsellor or alternative service provider who may be more suitable.
