Everything is treated confidentially in accordance with the ethical standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (https://www.bacp.co.uk/events-and-resources/ethics-and-standards/ethical-framework-for-the-counselling-professions/).

As a person-centred therapist, I aim to work alongside you by offering a non-judgmental, empathic and accepting relationship in a confidential space. In this space, we will work together to explore what might be troubling you at your own pace.
