How I work
As an accredited BACP counsellor, I am experienced in working with adults and teenagers. I am trained and fully qualified as a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor.
Integrative counselling understands the connection between mind, body and spirit. This approach looks at your past, present and future, changing unhealthy patterns in your life. It is important to feel accepted and understood for whom you really are and to this aim, he aims to provide a supportive environment for self-discovery.
I believe we all have the capacity to move beyond our fears and challenges. Through gaining insight and compassion we can feel more confident within ourselves and as such more satisfied within our lives. I am trained to listen, reflect and motivate, which provides a unique opportunity to gain a fresh perspective.
My approach to counselling and therapy is first to create a place of safety. Safety is the condition that enables you to explore conscious and unconscious issues together. I support personal inquiries at ever increasing depth to accomplish healing and continuous growth through the relationship. Healing leads to a space of self-discovery and new possibilities in life.
Whether you are an adult or a parent of a teenager reading this, I offer a friendly and modern approach to dealing with the struggles of life today. Within his working practice clients often report feeling calmer and more confident within themselves having gained clarity around the challenges and difficulties they have been experiencing.

Why counselling?
In general, one of the main goals of counselling is to help people reach a state of awareness, or self-realisation. Counsellors act as cheerleaders, motivators, and mirrors, which can help people finally realise that they are unique and amazing beings in and of themselves. After working with a counsellor, many individuals will finally realise their own strengths and abilities, and focus on becoming better and happier people.
Counselling is a process of helping the unconscious to become conscious. When we become aware of our needs, motivations, and patterns of behaviour, we are able to make better choices for ourselves. Spoken communication is invaluable yet at the same time limited in helping us become aware of our inner life and our unconscious ways of relating to each other.
Many clients use compulsive behaviours to avoid experience of self. With counselling clients are able to move out of their heads and into a fuller experience at which time they can experience problems and rehearse solutions in a new way expanding their sense of self and replacing compulsive behaviour’s with creativity and internal safety. Many clients experiencing counselling report …
less intensity of perceived distress,
fewer compulsive thoughts, impulses and actions,
fewer feelings of inadequacy and inferiority,
fewer symptoms of depression, anxiety, fear, and anger,
a greater orientation to the present,
a tendency to be more independent and self-supportive,
more flexibility,
more sensitivity to their own needs and feelings,
a greater likelihood to express feelings and be themselves,
and an improved capacity to develop meaningful and warm interpersonal relationships with others.
