Next steps
Finding a counsellor may feel a little daunting. After all, there are so many.
So, how to choose?
In my experience, that usually depends on the answer to four simple questions – Are you nearby? What do you charge? Are you qualified? And most important of all – Can you help me?
If you have any of those same questions, why don’t we take a look at them now?
Are you nearby?
I am based at The Stephenson Centre (also known as The Captains House), located at 81 Grimwade Street, Ipswich IP4 1LN, just a short walk from the historic Waterfront and the town centre. To find out more click here.
How much do you charge?
My fees are outlined here.
Are you qualified?
People, their lives, and what makes them tick, have always been a passion of mine. It is what led me to work as a magazine journalist for 25 years. In those years I heard many moving stories – of loss, betrayal, abuse, and suffering, but also stories of incredible human resilience, bravery, and determination. It was this work that led me to retrain as a counsellor in 2015. I didn’t just want to write people’s stories, I wanted to support and help.
Having over 30 years experience of listening to people means not much shocks me. Whatever you want to share, I’m here for you.
I hold a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and am a fully accredited member of the BACP (British Association For Counselling and Psychotherapy) – the UK’s largest professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists and adhere to their Ethical Framework.
Can you help me?
The good news is – yes, I can!
