What is Counselling?
Counselling is a form of talk therapy, usually held in a 1-2-1 setting. A place where you can share and explore at ease and confidentially. Going for counselling can seem like a terrifying experience if you have never been before. As a Person Centred Counsellor, i offer you qualities such as, having a non judgemental approach so you can feel at ease and share any concerns or difficulties that you may be experiencing, without fear of being judged. Along with these qualities, good use of listening and reflective skills are used to help you gain the most out of your experience, along with other counselling skills which are used, depending on your reasons for counselling, which are tailored to meet your needs.

Counselling helps you to feel settled, promotes self awareness and increases confidence.

I also deliver workshops in Stress Management and Confidence Building.

I have chosen to deliver and focus more on these two areas, as i have found that if you are Stressed or Lack Confidence in either one or more of these areas; Work, Social, Relationships or Family life, you are more likely to seek therapy.
