Hello, I’m Bob. I am a qualified Counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. (MBACP Reg no. 528240). I can offer a safe and confidential space where you can talk about the issues that are affecting you without being judged. If you are reading this, then you have been brave enough to take the first step. I hope that you will now take the next step in order that we can work through your issues together and I can help you to move forward with your life. My approach is primarily person-centred which means it is non-directive and led by you. However, I also use other approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Transactional Analysis as appropriate. I have experience of working with a range of personal and emotional issues but have focussed most on career change, relationships, young people, stress, anxiety, and depression. Reaching out for help can feel scary and overwhelming. I know how this feels as I too have overcome many hurdles in my own life. I offer a free 20 minute initial telephone meeting, where you will be able to ask me any questions that you may have, and talk about why you feel that you may benefit from counselling. If you feel comfortable with me and feel I am the right counsellor for you,  we can book a counselling session together.
