So if you’ve come to this page I imagine it’s because you’d like to read messages from former clients attesting to how well we worked together.
The thing is, I don’t have any testimonials to show you, and there are a couple of reasons for this.
Most important, I feel, is that even if I posted a hundred such comments, it doesn’t mean that you and I working together would be successful. Every counselling relationship is different and there’s no way of saying that because I’ve formed many good counselling relationships in the past, ours would work well. The only thing I can do is invite you to read these pages, because every word was written by me, and they hold as much of my personality as can be conveyed in a website. If you like what you read, arrange for an initial conversation, and if you like that, arrange to begin working together. Only then will we be able to discover whether I am the right person to be your counsellor.
Secondly, I feel that even if posted in an anonymised format, there’s something of a breach of privacy if I solicit positive comments from my clients and I’m not comfortable asking. I consider confidentiality in the client counsellor relationship to be sacred and for me that extends to asking someone to say something about the relationship that will then be made available to the public.
Instead, let’s talk, meet, and hopefully you’ll find me the right person for you.
