Helen Farrell - Counsellor and therapist Adv Dip MBACP
My approach:
 
You, the client, remain at the centre of everything we do. I will not judge or criticise you but rather seek to understand your situation.
 
I will help and encourage you to learn more about yourself, in particular why some patterns of behaviour may be blocking your own happiness.
 
 
I aim to give you the understanding and confidence to make positive life choices and resolve difficult issues.
 
I aim to enable you to express your feelings in an open way, however bad or ugly you consider these to be, in order that you may begin your journey of self discovery.
 
I do not make decisions for you but will help you find your own way forward.
