About me and my therapy practice
My name is Andy and I am a qualified Humanistic and Integrative counsellor. I have a wealth of experience built up over more than 30 years of working with people in a wide range of both voluntary and statutory health and social care settings.
As your counsellor, I will not tell you what to do or give you the answers but rather I will 'walk alongside you' without judgement. Metaphorically, as I 'walk alongside you', I may hold up a torch as you explore along your individual path of self discovery. I always aim to work in a way that shows compassion.
As a qualified Humanistic and Integrative counsellor, if you choose to work with me I will value your uniqueness, listen to you and witness your story.
Another aspect to being-in counselling is that things can emerge from being in a deeper relationship with your-self, which often offers glimpses of the potential life-long personal enquiry all human beings may connect with.
After several years of personal therapy and ongoing deep reflection and development I have found a new path in my life, a path where I am now more present in my life. Through being-in personal counselling, the experiences I endured during my childhood and adolescence no longer unconsciously haunt me and through learning to trust the therapeutic process, I have learnt to trust myself and have found inner self-integration.

Next steps:
Do you want an Initial Consultation?
If you are interested in working with me as your counsellor, then please email me on the link provided and I will email you a couple of dates/times for an Initial Consultation. If you have any specific days/times when you can attend counselling, then please let me know this in your email. Please also let me know whether your preference is for in-person or phone counselling
An Initial Consultation generally lasts up to 50 minutes.
Please note, my fee for an Initial Consultation is £30, which needs to be paid in advance, and is non-refundable.
After the Initial Consultation, if we wish to work together, then we can arrange a start date for your counselling.
Please also note: although my aim is to respond within 48 hours after I have received your referral email, at times, my response can take up to 2 weeks and this is due to the high demand for counselling.
