HELP NOW WHEN YOU NEED LIFE TO CHANGE

A place of hope
My Guarantee
The first step

Are things happening in your life right now that you want to change? You may be very stressed, anxious or unable to see a clear path forward when the demands of life and responsibilities seem overwhelming. You could be feeling panicked. Your relationship with a parent, partner or child could be in trouble. Maybe you are distressed by having to make painful decisions. Perhaps stresses have resulted in addictions you want to be free from. Do you behave in ways you would like to change?

All of us are touched by events in our life which cause pain, anxiety, confusion or sorrow. Sometimes decades later.

For some people there is a hunger for purpose, to bring some meaning and passion to a life which seems to be drifting by.

A PLACE OF HOPE, TRUST, HELP AND SAFETY

Counselling and psychotherapy provide a place of hope where you can work through the issues of life. You might want immediate relief from distress or you may wish for a deeper understanding of self and others. Either way you will need:

  • a place where you feel very safe
  • a therapist whom you can trust completely
  • a sense that you are really being listened to and understood
  • the confidence that your therapist has the skills to accompany you on your short or long-term journey through your difficulties
  • a person you feel very comfortable you can talk to
  • a relationship of deep mutual respect with your therapist
  • a feeling you are cared for
  • the confidence you can share things you find it hard to speak about
  • to know you will never feel judged.

It is my task and professional responsibility as a psychotherapist and counsellor to create this place for you. And to give you a feeling of hopefulness - however small at the beginning.

MY GUARANTEE

As a counsellor I know that I can help most people who come to see me, with a wide range of issues. However, the single most important factor in successful therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. You cannot know whether you will have that necessary confidence and trust until we meet. If you end your first session feeling that you haven't been helped at all and you do not wish to return then tell me. I will gladly refund the initial fee in full, without qualification.
