My Approach: My approach to counselling is, in the main, integrative. This means that I incorporate various counselling approaches in my work. The main counselling approaches I use are: Psychodynamic, Humanistic (person-centred, existential) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). My work focuses on the therapeutic relationship between my client and myself which helps to enhance understanding and trust. Issues I work with: Alcohol/Drugs Misuse Addictions/Co-dependency Bereavement Relationship problems Depression/Anxiety/Stress Self-esteem/Confidence Divorce/Separation Sexuality Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

About my practice:    I work with individuals (16 years and above)    and couples.        Sessions are on a weekly basis and are usually    on the same day and at the same time.    However, I offer flexibility to accommodate     clients' schedules.    Sessions are available during the week, day or    evening, as well as on Saturday morning.        Each session for individuals is 50minutes    long(with the first consultation up to one hour).    For couples sessions are one hour long.        I offer short and long-term therapy.    Following the first consultation I offer a    minimum of 6 sessions after which I review    progress with my clients.                                                                                                                                                         My counselling room is self-contained with   its own entry and its own facilities. It provides a   comfortable and tranquil atmosphere and   engenders a safe and confidential environment.    Code of Ethics:    As a an individual Member of BACP I am    bound by its Ethical Framework for Good    Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy    and subject to the Professional Conduct    Procedure therein.    I am also a member of the United Kingdom    Association for Psychotherapy Integration    (UKAPI)
