WHAT CAN I OFFER?
I offer a comfortable environment, a confidential person centred approach to working with clients. As a mature practitioner, I bring diverse experience to supporting clients in their journey. I see clients as people who seek to make the best use of their potential and resources to achieve the changes they wish to make. I respect and value the qualities and skills clients bring to our work together.

My experience covers a wide range of issues and concerns:-

*BULLYING - There are many programmes and quick fix solutions available, however, I believe the bully/victim dynamic is driven from a place where both feel victims. The more we can understand about ourselves/others the better chance we have of moving out of this dynamic. I believe the approach I offer can bring enduring positive results whether you are locked into being labelled a bully or confused about which side of the dynamic you are finding yourself or clearly feeling you are being bullied. The common Issues listed below all tend to bring feelings of vulnerability leaving us open to being bullied or to bully to get our needs met.

*Powerlessness, lack of self-esteem/confidence, feeling humiliated, sensing injustice, not being understood, feeling our very existence is a threat to others, a clear message we either have to be no-body or some-body to survive.
These issues are all to do with power. We all have personal power that if used in a positive and responsible way will reap results that are beneficial to all concerned. If we steal power from another to bolster self esteem it does not work, we can only use our own power, the power of others is no use to us. The results are always destructive if we give our power away or take it from another, in short it is a waste of energy and power. The art is to use the power that is within us and through which positive results are achieved.

*Pre-marital/co-habitating - counselling for couples thinking about getting married or considering living together. This provides a safe environment to explore many considerations often overlooked. There are many questions we often ask later when things have not gone the way we had assumed or expected. Some of these considerations/questions may be around expectations and responsibilities, use of resources, individual and shared choices, beliefs/views about parenting, the kind of space/environment we hope to create and how that fits needs and life style, what is a close/intimate relationship, what will we need to be able to do to go beyond problems and meet new challenges, what does commitment mean to us. This is an opportunity to begin your new life from a place of honesy and shared understanding, to have a creative and fulfilling life together without loosing sight and sense of self as an individual.



Life Challenges
The common situations and challenges many of us face are around change, such as moving job, house, location/country, redundancy, health, relationships, parenting, facing and getting through legal battles, managing diversity or cross-cultural/ religious/gender dilemas/issues. These are areas that frequently arise whether main concerns or part of finding re-balance in our lives.
