Adrian Shaw

I currently have availability Mondays & Fridays, and late afternoon Tuesday-Wednesday.

I can also offer evening and weekend sessions.

I am a fully trained psychotherapist and counsellor and a registered member of the Â鶹ԭ´´ (registered no. 410215), and I work according to their ethical famework. 

I am strongly person centred in the way I work, being highly empathic, kind, respectful, non-judgemental and fully present and genuine. 

I also beleve in tailoring support to each individual client. This allows a range of beneficial techniques and knowledge to be used according to individual needs.

Being an older therapist I have experienced a good deal of what life brings both good and bad, I feel this helps me to better understand and make a connection with those I support. 

I am able to offer telephone, zoom and face to face sessions (depending on client location).  

I work in a flexible and collaborative way with clients to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. Usually, we will agree some goals to work towards which will help measure recovery and effectiveness of therapy. We will review progress regularly to help ensure that the support is relevant and appropriate.

I offer an initial free, no-obligation 30 minute telephone or zoom consultation. This is to discuss the issues being experienced, how we might work together and whether we are a good match for each other. 

Further sessions are 60 minutes in length. I will forward my counselling agreement prior to the first session.
