First I Listen

How I work

I see therapy as a highly useful tool for change. There are days we all wake up wondering if the anxiety will ease, if our anger will abate or how we might cope with the loss we feel. I provide confidential support coupled with the experience and training to help you through the difficult and dark times.

It is my belief that all of us have the answers we are seeking, but sometimes we just don’t know where to look. Through working together I will support you to build your resilience, to help you manage issues you may encounter in the future.

My approach revolves around adapting my expertise and experience to your unique circumstances; to see your perspective to assist you in navigating, exploring and understanding the experiences that have brought you this far.

It takes courage to move towards counselling. I will listen and I will hear you.

"These sessions were hugely beneficial, helping to guide me through the dark times with his kind ear and ‘how to cope’ tools. However, my overriding feeling was one of enjoyment and looking forward to our calls - I will always be indebted for the priceless support he provided and feel blessed that he was part of my journey."
