How Does it Work?
Counselling/Psychotherapy is about looking inside to figure out what is going on. By exploring and clarifying what exists in our inner and outer worlds, we can work through what we are going through, our thoughts, feelings and beliefs. This can then lead to action.
What Do I Do as a Counsellor?
I offer a safe, caring place where you can explore your thoughts and difficulties without judgement and without having someone’s views imposed upon you. I offer warm, acceptance and understanding and through building an authentic, trusting relationship, counselling acts to facilitate change.
What is My Experience?
I have worked at Metanoia and at Ealing Abbey Counselling Service,both in Ealing. In total, I have been working with counselling clients since 2008. Counselling involves us working together to find present day solutions to current problems. The work is often more short term lasting a number of weeks or months. In psychotherapy I pay far more attention to what has shaped you from the past.
