This is about getting dedicated time to think clearly about what's important for you.
In the first session we'll discover how we work together. You can ask as many questions as you want and I’ll give you a copy of my contract. Therapy is a two way relationship, it shouldn’t be the therapist telling the client what’s wrong with them and how to get better, but an exploration of how we are in relationship with ourselves and others. This is far more complex, challenging and realistic than a diagnosis and treatment plan.
At the same time some clients are quite clear that they simply want to change a particular habit or phobia without going into long term therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can be very useful in addressing this kind of issue. In this case it’s probably more useful to visit a CBT practitioner. Clarifying this kind of issue means that we can work together with greater understanding and effectiveness.
Further sessions will be weekly and will last for 50 minutes. I have a sliding scale of fees with a minimum of £40 per session and from there you’ll decide how much you pay.

PHILOSOPHY
Person Centred counselling believes that we’re capable of discovering our own solutions to our own problems. There are no diagnoses or labels and conversely there is no cure. Instead, via the relationship between client and counsellor, the client discovers personal resources, develops their own power, becomes more trusting of themselves, finding ways of working with their own issues in their own ways.
Ecopsychology understands that individual, community and global wellbeing are interconnected. This is a new way of expressing very ancient understandings about our place in the world and the worlds place in us. I’m registered with the International Community for Ecopsychology
