Service Notes

Service Quality Provision

I provide one-to-one, face to face counselling for all individuals, ages 11 to 111+ !

For those physically-confined to home or hospital can request a visit.

For those in remote areas where face to face counselling is inaccessible, I can provide telephone counselling.

I follow the professional ethics and guidelines set out by the professional counselling organisations with whom I am a Member.

They have strict requirements for membership and assess eligibility through Counselling/Psychotherapy qualifications of a high standard, professional and regular supervision, continuous professional development and an ethical and professional conduct.

Experience

Orientation

I have been involved in counselling since 2001, initially as a Samaritans listener, a 24/7 service for those in emotional crisis who may be feeling suicidal.

In 2004, I began my professional full-time training and 3 years later qualified as a professional counsellor.

I was a young persons counsellor (ages 11 to 25) and a school counsellor. I later started private practice.

I have a varied life experience which helps me to empathise with your feelings, difficulties and dilemmas.

I work Integratively with various modalities or theories, not just one.

I work in a Person-centred and Experiential way were I listen very carefully to what you say and give you the space to be aware of your feelings and express them.

To explore past events I draw on Psychoanalytic theory.

I work Existentially, particularly with difficulties that you face with your actual existence and future concerns.
