SOCIAL WORK AND COUNSELLING
SERVICES
Counselling
My philosophy is about first starting from where you are and allowing you to share the story that matters to you.
I seek to genuinely honour what you're facing as well as gently explore opportunities with you for reconnecting with what's meaningful to you.
I use a variety of practice frameworks including Grief and Loss, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Narrative and Solution-Focused therapies.
All of these are grounded in a humanistic approach, meeting you from a place of my own human-ness and trusting the depth of knowledge and personal resources that you bring.

-
holistic assessment

report-writing, support letters

Confidentiality
Your personal information that is shared with me, including my written notes and other documents, will be securely stored and not shared with anyone without your consent, unless there is a perceived risk of harm to yourself or someone else, or if required by law.
In any of these instances I will endeavour to discuss with you first.
Professionalism
​
I am committed to keeping up with my own regular professional supervision for support in ensuring I am maintaining best practice.
