Empowering You to Achieve Happiness
Sessions
All sessions are 50 minutes long and I offer both short term and long-term work. I will regularly check-in with you to review our work together and to see how you are experiencing sessions. Together we can then make any adjustments to the work we are doing to ensure that you are meeting your desired outcomes. All session are based in a counselling room in Worle, North Somerset. I also offer online counselling for people who may not be able to attend in person, or for those who do not live locally.
Confidentiality
All our work is confidential except in certain situations where any information you share means that there is a potential risk of harm to yourself or to someone else. This will be discussed in our first session and as part of the counselling contract.
Who I work with
I enjoy working with children from 10 years, and across the age ranges through to older adults. I enjoy working creatively and encourage you to bring music, poetry, creative writing or anything that will help you to explore your reasons for coming to counselling. I always have creative tools in the counselling room such as stress balls to paper and pens, playdough, sand tray, mood cards and buttons. I also enjoy using guided imagery for those clients that feel this would be beneficial and use grounding and breathing techniques alongside this.
Supervision
I have regular supervision whereby I discuss the cases that I am working with, this ensures I am working to the ethical framework of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). It also allows me to regularly reflect on my continued professional development. Supervision does not share any information whereby you could be identified by the supervisor.
Accreditation
I am a registered member with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
