The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy's definition of counselling:

The skilled use of the relationship (between the counsellor and patient) to help the patient develop self-knowledge, self-esteem and the ability to take control of his or her own life.

In counselling people come to work through their concerns with such things as depression, relationship problems, and feelings arising from a crisis. As a relational integrative therapist I am concerned with being non-judgemental, open and offering an understanding relationship. Together we will explore your experiences and feelings, concentrating on what you consider most important. Integrative therapy focuses on whatever you bring now, in the present, while acknowledging that you may, or may not, wish to explore the past. It emphasizes free will and the ability to make choices. Integrative therapy also makes use of Mindfulness CBT which allows you to become more aware and in control of your thoughts and feelings. Integrative therapy is also a good place to explore life changes and professional and career problems. For further explanations of relational integrative therapy click here. 

I offer long or short term counselling or psychotherapy in an environment that is safe, supportive and confidential. I adapt my style of working to the needs of each individual. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their Code of Ethics and complaints procedure.
