I believe the counselling relationship is very special. It provides a space that's yours where you can explore and express your inner thoughts and feelings in confidence and safety. It's a place you can obtain a different perspective and increase your self awareness. By becoming more aware, you increase your choices, thus providing more opportunity to make change.  It was my own journey that brought me to train as a therapist and I highly value this working relationship.Whilst I have trained in several models/theories: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic & Humanistic (including Person Centred), we will draw on the most appropriate (usually a mix of these, know as an Integrative approach) and will work in the way that best suits you.  I qualified and have been working as a Counsellor since 2007.Organisations I have worked with include: Hertfordshire County Council, Place2be and Young Concern Trust (all in primary and secondary schools).  NHS (with adults in GP surgeries)I am an affiliate therapist providing services via BUPA, Aviva, AXA, Workplace Options, Health Assured,  Sparta, Bodycare & Victim Support.
