We can get a great deal of relief from distress and unhappiness by talking through problems with an understanding, experienced, supportive and non-judgemental counsellor. Often this can be enough to help gain perspective, relief, and resolution. Sometimes though, our difficulties are exacerbated by the way we sometimes think or view things. Discussing and exploring our thoughts and views can lead to seeing things differently and help alleviate difficulty and unhappiness. There may be a few or many factors involved in one's difficulties and unhappiness. Some factors may have deep rooted origins, some related to current circumstances. We can work together with what ever you bring to the counselling sessions.

Fees

The sessions cost £40. Some concessionary places are available for those on low incomes.

Mindfulness courses

For some years now I've been running mindfulness courses that are designed to prevent low mood/depression and components of depression such as anxiety and stress. This work and required training has helped me develop a particular expertise in the areas of depression and depression related conditions. Often it can be helpful to develop a mindfulness meditation practice alongside individual counselling or psychotherapy. If clients are interested in this there is the opportunity to enrol on the 8-week Mindfulness course. During courses participants are eligible for individual counselling sessions at a much reduced rate.

Confidentiality and Ethics

As a member of the UKCP I work within their strict Code of Ethics and Practice. This ensures good, safe and responsible practice. What client and therapist talk about during the consultation and any further sessions remains confidential.
