Welcome...

Counselling and psychotherapy are not a sign that you are 'failing' or 'weak' in any way. On the contrary in fact, it can be hard work and is in no way an 'easy option'. By visiting this site, you have already probably recognised an area of your life where you feel you would like more insight and understanding, or perhaps areas where you would like to develop personally. By doing this, you have made the first step towards achieving a more 'balanced' sense of wellbeing.

I do not make false promises. Many websites of this nature advertise 'quick fixes' but unfortunately, lasting change is not that easy and advertisements that say otherwise are rarely effective. Counselling and psychotherapy are an investment not just financially but also emotionally and this type of investment can be both challenging and rewarding. It has the potential to be life changing, not only for you but for those around you. Indeed as a result, you may find that not only can you resolve current or past issues, but you can also deal with new challenges more effectively as well as gaining a higher sense of self-awareness, leading you to live a more fulfilling life. I am a member of Counselling Directory  and the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (BACP)

Counselling/psychotherapy is confidential, led at your pace and will be re-assessed at regular intervals to ensure that you are getting what you need. Therapy is usually on a weekly basis, but this is flexible as is the number of sessions you may require. Some people require several sessions, whereas some require substantially longer, depending on the nature of the problem, in which case a longer-term commitment to psychotherapy may be advised.
