Counselling is sometimes referred to as the 'talking cure'. I have often thought that there is something almost miraculous about it. Just by you talking, and me, a professional, listening and reflecting back to you what is happening inside of you brings truly enormous relief. In short, it is a process that helps you to become aware of hidden forces that are affecting you, and when you become aware of these problems, I mean truly aware of them,and where they come from, then they begin to lose their power.

What Benefits can be Expected?Counselling will help to alleviate and indeed solve your problems, freeing you to enjoy life much more fully. You will almost certainly begin to feel better after our first session together. If you want a time limit to your counselling, there will be a time limit. If not, you can see me indefinitely until you yourself feel well enough to decide to leave.
