BACP Registered Member
Counselling & Psychotherapy in Weybridge, Surrey KT13
MY APPROACH, TRAINING & EXPERIENCE
I am a professionally qualified BACP counsellor, experienced in working with adults, adolescents and couples, face to face and remotely. I provide guidance on personal and psychological problems, in a safe, supportive, non-judgemental environment.
I have always had a great passion for helping people and listening to their concerns and problems. My experience working @Cruse Bereavement and local colleges to support and enable communities and individuals, especially through the pandemic, has allowed me to work with a broad base of clients.
By supporting adults and couples with issues such as IVF, stress, aniexty, anger, depression and a hectic family life, I have been able to help them improve their communication and see their relationship in a more objective way.
By working together with clients, I have enabled them to manage difficult thoughts and feelings, to improve their health and well-being and enable them to effect positive change in their lives.
I use a person-centred approach, which is where the person is placed at the centre of the counselling. This means dealing with the whole person and not just the problem.
At the core of this approach is to offer you empathy and acceptance without judgment, allowing you to feel safe and supported in our relationship. Where you can talk freely and honestly about what is troubling you, whilst being treated with dignity, compassion and respect.
I work at a pace that suits you, as every person is different. We work together to help you manage difficult thoughts and feelings, to improve your health and well-being and to enable you to effect positive change in your life.
Finding the right counsellor for your needs can feel daunting.
Sometimes it can help you to make a choice by having an initial free telephone conversation.
If you would like to contact me, I would be pleased to answer any questions you may have and explain in more detail the way that I work.
Following this we can arrange an initial appointment to see if we would be able to work well together. At this appointment we will do an assessment.
During the assessment we will explore what has brought you to counselling and what your needs are in order to be clear that I am the best person to support you.
