I am available on Fridays 10.00am-4.00pm. I am also available Monday and Tuesday afternoons from 3.15pm and Wednesday and Thursday evenings after 5.30pm. 

I offer face to face and online counselling sessions, providing  a confidential space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings in safety and in order to assist their healing, understanding and growth. My role is to help with this process, showing compassion, empathy and non-judgement. I may use creative resources to help provide additional support to the therapeutic process during sessions. I am fully committed to the therapeutic process and I hope you will benefit from our time together.  

I am an integrative counsellor, trained in the theories of person centred and psycho dynamic counselling. I am primarily a person centred counsellor and the therapeutic relationship we develop will be an important part of the work we do together. Counselling sessions may reflect on past relationships and life experiences as well as what’s currently going on for you. As a creative counsellor I may use a creative medium to help you express what you may be unable to say. 

As the counselling client you are the expert about you. 

Chrysanthemum Counselling provides a safe space for you to bring whatever it is you wish to talk about. I offer acceptance, empathy and understanding to all clients. 

During our first session I will complete an assessment to help identify what your needs and goals are for seeking counselling support. I will be collecting personal information about you and your history, such as family information and information about your health and well-being. This initial session will also help us to decide how we feel about continuing to work together. On the rare occasion that you may not feel comfortable with me that will not be an issue. Finding the right counsellor for you is important and it may be that Chrysanthemum Counselling is not the right fit for you. In that situation I can still help you by referring on to other counsellors
