I am a fully Accredited Member of The Counselling Society and a full Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, (B.A.C.P.) working towards Accreditation. I am bound by their Ethical Frameworks for Good Practice in both Counselling and Psychotherapy. I provide Integrative counselling combining Person Centred, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Humanistic, Transactional Analysis (TA) approaches and Solution Focused therapies. Counselling and psychotherapy can begin a journey of exploration for many people which can assist them significantly in moving themselves forwards in life. The more information they possess about themselves and their issues the greater their insight to effect positive behavioural change.
Counselling sessions offer dedicated time and a safe environment for individuals’ to consider all options open to them. This in turn allows them to feel empowered to make decisions and obtain a greater clarity in their life at times when they need this most.

Customer Reviews
I first used Elaine when I was a counsellor in training and went on to call upon her when my personal circumstances changed dramatically and I was finding it difficult to cope with so many negative emotions. Elaine supported me through many emotions and tears aplenty without making judgments about me, my responses and actions. I would definitely visit her again if I needed to. She knows my history now so it would make sense.
