Personal Statement

“If you are here, you are facing a challenge – personal, professional and/ or

relational. You are considering the idea of getting outside help to enable you

to exploit an opportunity or overcome a problem.”

I am an experienced personal consultant able to help you to overcome

challenges that are preventing you from living life as you would like to.

Personal consulting uses counselling and/or coaching to help you explore

yourself – for personal development and to resolve practical, emotional,

and psychological challenges.

Since you and your circumstances are unique, we will choose from a range

of tools and techniques I have experience in using. But most importantly, I

work in a client-centred way which is open ended, tailored to you and

promotes your right to choose.

Together, we would build a trusted (non-judgemental, confidential, safe) relationship as you learn to survive in the present and thrive in the future. More able to take the opportunities that will open up to you.

This client-centred approach uses your strengths and insights to encourage your personal growth and improved your relationships.

Trial

We can start with a free 20 minute online or phone session

– this provides us with the opportunity to decide

if I and my approach are right for you.

I invite you to get in touch.

So why not call for a conversation,

it’s good to talk and it cost nothing,

except a little of your time!

Confidentiality

All professional counselling organisations (for example British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)) have similar ethics.

I adhere to these ethical frameworks, and so our work together is

confidential but with the following exceptions:

I discuss my client work in professional supervision which is an industry
requirement to ensure best practice. At no time will your name or identity be discussed in these sessions.
If I have serious concerns about your mental wellbeing, I may wish to contact your GP or healthcare professional. I will always seek your consent in the first instance.
If I feel that there may be significant risk of harm to yourself or others, or if a child is deemed to be at risk, I will need to break confidentiality to ensure your, or their, safety. I will always seek your consent in the first instance.

Fees

Full session fees are £65 for a 50-minute session.

The number of sessions vary.

A programme of eight sessions, one a week is a common starting point

– offered at a discount of £400.

You may have to postpone a session and we can reshedule

– but I would ask for 48 hours’ notice,

otherwise the full fee will be payable.

Insurance

I have professional indemnity insurance.
