About Me
My philosophy and practice is grounded in the Person-Centred approach. That means that I value each persons individuality and unique circumstance and help you to identify changes you would like to make through exploring your world.
It is based on the theory that the self-directed process of change would follow from a person's experience of a particular kind of relationship, which is characterised by genuineness, non-judgemental caring and empathy. This approach is non-directive and is based on the concept that Counsellors cannot decide the direction that people can change and develop.
My work is clinically supervised to the required high standard and I hold public liability and professional indemnity insurance.
I am a member of the British Association for the Person-Centred Approach (BAPCA) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy(BACP) and as a member of the BACP, I am bound by its Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy and therefore subject to the Professional Conduct Procedure.
