I have 35 years experience as a Person-centred Therapist working with clients with a wide range of presenting problems.
First of all, I have a very strong belief in the positive nature of all human beings. We will always strive to do the best for ourselves, no matter what conditions we find ourselves in or what problems we face.
Secondly, I believe in the uniqueness and worth of every individual human being and that we all deserve respect for our capacity to choose our own directions in life and to select and choose our own values to live by.
Thirdly, I believe that you are the only expert in your own internal world and the only person who really knows how you feel. You are the only person who can decide who and how you should be, the only person who can decide what the meaning of your life is and what you should do with it.
Fourthly, I believe that the most important thing in counselling is the therapeutic relationship that will develop between us, in which I hope that you will really feel heard and understood, in a non-judgemental way and that you will experience me as a real and genuine person in this relationship,, rather than playing the role of counsellor or expert whom you have come to ask for solutions to your problems.Qualifications & Training BA Psychology.
