I am registered with the Information Commissioner as a Data Controller. All my client records are kept in accordance with current regulations.
I carry professional indemnity insurance in respect of my counselling activities.
My approach to therapy is Integrative – which means that I treat each client as an individual and apply whichever methods are most appropriate to the client’s needs. I am non-directive, supporting my client in working through key issues without advice or judgement.
