Hopefully you will find it interesting and informative and that it gives you an insight into my counselling services. Everyone experiences difficult times and situations. Life can be challenging, unpredictable, problematic and sad. Issues that are not addressed are unlikely to simply disappear by themselves. Whilst friends and family are often very supportive and well meaning they can also be too close to the problem; sometimes the issues are such that some professional help is needed.
Talking to a trained and experienced counsellor can be the key to finding a way to move forward. Counselling offers a safe, objective, non judgmental and confidential environment where it becomes possible to discover causes and reasons behind problems. It can help you to find new ways of thinking and feeling which can lead to greater awareness and change.
Counselling also starts the process of understanding ones self and personal responses. In addition, bespoke strategies can be put into place that enable clients to find effective ways to cope, gain perspective and confidence, and to achieve a level of peace, happiness and control.

This is a non-directive therapeutic approach.
The aim is for the client to feel comfortable, understood and heard by the counsellor.
The focus is on the ways clients perceive themselves and their life situations not on the counsellor's personal interpretation of the situation.
All clients are valued, respected and treated with 'unconditional positive regard'.
Empathy and trust are central.
It is based on the premise that everyone has the capability to change, grow and to fulfil their potential.

I encourage prospective clients to contact me either by phone or by email in the first instance.
We then arrange an initial consultation.
Seeking counselling can be daunting for some and it is important to feel that you are safe, in control and comfortable.
This consultation gives us chance to get a sense of each other and to see if we feel we could work together.
By the end of this session you should feel there is focus on the outcomes you want and a sense that I am able to help you achieve them.

I met with Viv at a time when I was having relationship problems with my parents.
At this time I was very anxious and consumed with the whole situation feeling trapped with nowhere to turn.
Viv, in her own special way listened to my problems and together over only a few meetings put a plan in place that gave me direction and the strength to overcome my fears.
Her guidance has given me the confidence and strength to be more assertive and much stronger.
This has helped me enormously and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
