KEY VALUES

As a qualified counsellor, these values underpin my practice:

• Professionalism

• Confidentiality

• Client safety

• Inclusivity

• Sensitivity

• Trauma-informed approach and treatments

I enjoy working with people who have a range of lived experiences, and my approach is:

• neuro-affirming

• inclusive

I welcome

• gender-diversity and those with various sexual orientations

• people of all faiths/religions, or with no defined spiritual/religious beliefs

I have a personal Christian faith, but I have broad experience working with clients of all faiths and no religious/spiritual inclination. In order for counselling to be effective, it needs to be experienced as a safe space. Your trust in me is key, and I recognise that this must be earned, not just assumed. Hence, I take my lead from my clients and will not impose my spiritual worldview or beliefs on any client or situation.

I will meet you where you are at, and without judgement.
