Counselling Style
"I work in a
client centred model, where your needs and issues become the agenda. My
intention is to support you to manage the issues in your life with the skills
you need to continue independently. For some clients this may take just a few
sessions, yet for others where the issues may have been present for years,
longer. It really depends on what you want, what the issues are, the context,
your priorities etc. I tailor my interventions to suit the individual client
needs and am well-known for my sensitivity and respect for the client."
