The Counsellor

• My approach is psychodynamic.
  
  
• I value the importance of being genuine, empathetic and respectful to others.
  
  
• I feel that an establishment of a safe and trusting relationship is an important part of the work.
  
  
• My particular areas of interest include trauma, dreams, identity, spiritual and philosophical issues.
  
  
• I have worked for 2 years as a drugs counsellor, using a harm reduction approach; a year as a couples counsellor with Relate; over 4 years in general private practice; then since September 2009 in general practice in the NHS.
  
  
• I offer telephone counselling as well as face-to-face work, in order to provide a more accessible service for those with difficulties in travelling.
