Person Centred Counsellor
Working with Individuals and Couples
Hello and welcome to my website. I am a fully qualified and experienced Counsellor and an Accredited Member of the BACP. My practice is situated in the village of Washbrook which is approximately 5 minutes from Ipswich and two minutes from Suffolk One College. Off road parking is available.
I work with both male and female clients on an individual basis and work with young people from the age of 15 years. I also work with couples who are experiencing issues within their relationship. I work with clients face to face as well as via telephone or online.
My practice offers a private and peaceful environment. This will allow you the necessary space to explore whatever is troubling you. Talking about feelings may feel extremely daunting, but person-centred counselling will enable you to discover an inner strength and understanding, which will make it easier to make decisions and to discover what you really want to achieve in life.
The first session can often bring great relief. I feel that the counselling process can be compared to shaking a very old bottle full of sediment, which has lain dormant for many years thus disturbing the contents. This is the same with your problems. When you start talking about your feelings, you are able to release some of the suppressed emotions, that have perhaps been hidden for some time.
Some people feel completely trapped in their life situations and can’t see a way forward. The biggest step therefore, is admitting that you need help and my role is to work with you to discover your own way towards a brighter future.
I have a special interest in working with people who have been diagnosed with Cervical Dystonia.
