I offer both short and long term counselling. The focus of counseling/psychotherapy is to explore issues that concern the individual with a view to uncovering patterns and making connections. If after reading this you still have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me for further clarification.

Counselling and psychotherapy are processes in which we work together to create an open, trustworthy and supportive relationship in which issues that concern you are worked with so that you may experience more fulfillment in your life. These may relate to a specific situation you find yourself in and might be resolved to your satisfaction through a short course of counseling (e.g. 6-12 sessions over a period of weeks or months).
However, if they relate to deep and recurring patterns in your biography then longer-term psychotherapy may be needed (e.g. up to a year or more). It is difficult to know at the outset how long you may need and what our work together will be about. The only thing you may be certain of is that you want things to change.

Developing a relationship in which trust, respect, and confidentiality are present is central to the counseling process.
Together we can work to generate the change which is needed to heal and strengthen you. This happens in a gradual and manageable way. With time you can have the confidence to take the positive experiences from counseling into your daily life.
When struggle and crisis are supported in this way they can be used as opportunities for personal growth and development.
