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; and over 4 years in general practice, most recently in the NHS.
  
  
• I offer telephone as well as face-to-face work, in order to provide
  a more accessible service for those with difficulties in travelling.
  
  
• Member of British Association of Counselling and
  Psychotherapy (BACP).
