It can reduce bitterness and conflict and open as well as improve healthier channels of communication.
It can help someone to cope better with issues of separation, rejection or abandonment.
It can provide a calm and safe setting in which people can focus on their needs and on what is happening within themselves.

Reaching decisions for yourselves or others when all you see around you is chaos and confusion and possibly pain.
Providing you the space to share your ‘own’ story in full confidentiality and be listened to and guided through exploring unconscious or conscious patterns of behaviour that lead to repetitive behavioural patterns or ‘loops’.

I never contact third parties about a client I am seeing unless I know that a child or adult is at immediate risk of harm. Clients’ sessions are completely confidential. This is a fundamental ethical principle in psychotherapy and I am bound by the ethical code of British Association of Counselling and Psychotherpy.
