The main focus of my therapy is person-centred counselling, though I also use elements of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) if my client requires it. This aligns with my philosophy of therapeutic work, in which the counselling process is geared to meeting the client from their own perspective.
Having previously worked as a counsellor in London, I moved to South Gloucestershire in January 2015. I work from a purpose-built counselling room in Frampton Cotterell, just north of Bristol.
Skills
I counsel clients (individuals/couples) from a diverse sector, covering a wide range of areas, including self-esteem, confidence, depression, self-harm, relationships and sexuality. Also, my education in various psychologies, such as cognitive, developmental, counselling, social and forensic, has enabled me to understand my work practice better.
I also have experience in counselling members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Trans-Gender and Questioning Community. Areas of exploration might include confidence, stigma, acceptance and relationships.
Fees
My standard fees are:
£65 per hour for individuals.
£85 per hour for Couples Counselling
Reduced fees are available for students and those on low incomes.
