I provide long and short term counselling for couples and individuals experiencing a wide variety of issues.I provide face-to-face sessions, in my property in Oakley, Bucks as well as in the clients home (upon request). It can often be difficult to attend sessions if the client is a primary caregiver, they do not have transport or experience high levels of anxiety when leaving the home - so I am happy to provide this service for no extra charge so that support can still be accessed.
I am an integrative counsellor which means I am trained in a number of counselling approaches and so work using a variety of different tools and techniques dependent on the clients needs. Sessions are therefore tailored to the individual and how I would work with one client may be completely different to the next. I believe that this approach is most beneficial as every client is individual therefore they need to be offered support which is individually tailored to them - rather than a "one size fits all approach".
I firmly believe that for any counselling to work a solid relationship should be developed between the counsellor and client - and this is at the heart of my work. I want clients to feel comfortable and safe when coming to therapy so I work hard to ensure that the right environment is provided.
I work collaboratively with clients and encourage feedback throughout our work together to ensure sessions are meeting their needs and I know which elements of our work are helpful and which elements they are finding less so. In this way, the client is ultimately at the centre of our work together and they dictate the nature and direction of their sessions.
