Compassion and respect for my clients perhaps best summarises my approach. My role as counsellor is to facilitate a gentle exploration of a person's life and the challenges they face - from their sense of self to their relationships with others - significant others, friends, and colleagues. I draw on my own sense of self, my education, training, and work experience, as well as my own lived experience to provide an authentic and balanced approach.
Individual sessions are normally 50-55 minutes, but longer sessions can be negotiated.
