It was great to talk about my worries and get some strategies on how to cope with low mood.
You would probably like to know what kind of counsellor I am and of course the best way to find out is to come for an initial consultation. However I would say that I am keen to help others and especially keen to be warm and friendly and try to help clients by putting them at ease - always ready with a question to fill those awkward silences (particularly in the early sessions) and, if appropriate, adding some humour. I am interested in your issues but also in your hobbies and other interests and have a keen eye for spotting things that you are already doing to help your situation. I aim to constantly update my toolkit and have attended workshops on a wide range of issues and continue to do so each year - always going the extra mile and doing more than the BACP recommended number of CPD hours.
BACP (accred) Counsellor/Psychotherapist
As stated earlier I try to put you, the client, at ease and initially help you to come to greater awareness of why you are in a position in which you are looking for help. After this I often help you work through your issues by offering strategies for building new, more appropriate habits to help you achieve your goals. For more information about the way I work, please visit my website.

Talking! Talking to someone who won’t judge but listens and gets you to think about what you’ve said and helps you to answer and move on. The sessions have helped me get back some sense of life and moving on to a new normal
