I am very passionate about the benefits of counselling. I am quite relaxed and very comfortable in my own skin - I tend not to judge other people, rather just work with you, so you can be happy and have a fulfilled life.
I don't tend to ask my clients to review my business, because it inevitably means they need to then explain they have had counselling and I don't really believe that I should be asking my clients to need to do that.

What do you love most about your job?
I love being a Therapist, it is more of a calling than a job and something I have found my way into in later life, after being a bit more conformist in my earlier life.
I really enjoy the work and I never tire of seeing people's lives improve as a result of examining and exploring what is going on for them, and the inevitable change, whether that is something major like changing job/location etc or whether it is thinking differently about certain aspects of life.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Simply that I am very passionate about counselling but not very passionate about being part of an organisation with its own rules and regulations, procedures.
Even though I am a bit of a free-spirit, I am boundaried in the work (as I believe it is key to good therapy) but when it is my business, then we are free to negotiate how we work, rather than based on rules of a large organisation.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am a great believer in clients having their own autonomy - so I wouldn't wish to give a reason why they 'should' choose me but perhaps I will say, if a client is looking for an individual who is very passionate about counselling, comfortable in their own skin and a bit of a free-spirit, then they will likely know whether I appeal to them as a counsellor or not. So I would say the clients should go with their intuition, as they will know who feels a good fit.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I provide online sessions by Google Meets or with some clients over the phone, really whatever the client prefers. I have a preference for in-person, only because I believe there is a benefit in actually being in the same physical space for the session but online does work well and I have done some really good work with individuals on the telephone, so perhaps the medium isn't crucial.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Well, hopefully we are past covid now but if clients are concerned about being inside over the winter months for instance then we can either open the windows or go for a walk outside.
