At present, I can offer 50 minutes sessions on a weekday evening on-line or by telephone. There is availability for face to face sessions on a Friday afternoon and possibly at weekends at The Practice Rooms, Salisbury.

Please contact me if there is anything about the format you wish to discuss.

I am a counsellor who uses the model of humanistic counselling which has been based on transactional analysis. 

My counselling career is in its infancy although in my favour, I can confirm I am compassionate and kind and bring my own life experience to the room, meaning I can show advanced empathy. I can also say that others remark on how I am calm, genuine and authentic as a person.

The difference I can bring to the sessions alongside the knowledge gained from the counselling course is my background in mental health nursing. I have been working for the NHS for many years. It has provided me good foundations in working with therapeutic relationships with individuals and their families or significant others.

It means I have worked with many people before who have struggled with various different types of mental health conditions. Although, if moving away from labels and diagnostic tools, I prefer to work with what the person brings, their struggles, their strengths and what it is they are wishing to work on. 

It's not always easy to make the decision to try counselling. However, positive change can come about from time and protected space for exploration.

I can offer on-line, telephone or face to face sessions. At present, there is less availability in the working week. 

Once the sessions begin, I would like to review after the 6th session to see if there is anything we need to re-contract in regard to the goals or aims of accessing the counselling. If, we both agree we can continue for another 6 sessions.

If you are curious about if this is what you may want, I can offer a free 30 minute discussion to discover whether this is the right intervention for you and that it fits with me, with my knowledge and expertise.

From this, the aim would be to have a collaborative agreement of how the first few sessions will be conducted.

In the first session I will need to go through an assessment to collate background information and essential details.
