Who Is Integrative Coaching & Therapeutic Counselling For ?
This Is For You if You Have:
Worries or concerns or something with which you are
- having difficulty in your
- thoughts, feelings, choices, actions or relationships. These may be
- affecting you and
- your home life, your family, your relationships, in
- your work, your business or your career, in your studies or learning or
- your health, sleep, appetite, concentration, memory, or mood, or a number of these,
- or with an unwelcome experience.
This problem may have been long-term or recent.
Personal Consultancy will be for you, whether you are
- a young adult (18 to 24 yrs) referred by your parent, with your consent, or an
- adult, or for you both if you are in
- a couple relationship.
Personal Consultancy could be for you if you are
- a parent with concerns for a teenager (16, 17 yrs) or young adult (18-24), if you are
- a parenting couple, who are either
- together or separated, or
- a lone parent;
- wanting a supportive, confidential time to talk.
If you are a parent of a teenager (16, 17 years, in England or Wales) who needs help, I shall be pleased to talk with you.
You may want to talk something through with a professional listener, helper
- who is outside of your family, work, study or social situation.
Your purpose could be to
- clarify your thoughts, feelings, ideas or plans and
- make changes, or
- develop a project.
You may have a dilemma: whether
- to talk, or to take action, perhaps with uncertain consequences.
Perhaps you already know that
- you have a number of options, or only a few, however
- you are unsure of which choice to make or the potential consequences.
Perhaps you are concerned for another family member.
Personal Consultancy can help with all of these through providing a time to talk and think together
with a trained, qualified, registered and experienced practitioner with an approach tailored to meet
your needs for support in working towards your chosen outcomes.
Where are you at, right now? Where do you need to get to? Who do you need to contact?
You have worries, concerns or feel stuck or blocked. You have talked to the people around you.
You know that now is the time you need to talk to a trustworthy, confidential, non-judgmental, professional listener and resource person.
You are now reviewing your options and seeking a person who you can trust, get along with and you feel understands you.

Integrated Model of Helping & Values
Distinctive helping models of therapeutic counselling and coaching inform and are integrated into Personal Consultancy.
Therapeutic Counselling, a therapeutic relationship of trust supports: exploration, stabilisation, recovery of equilibrium, increased confidence and finding ones own voice, for choice-making.
Coaching supports: safe self-expression, self-efficacy, increased awareness, autonomy with skills development toward appropriate inter-dependency, improved emotional well-being & targeted goal achievement work.
Personal Consultancy integrates both of these approaches with a client-centred, choice based approach to achieving client driven aims or goals.
Practice Values – Alan brings a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to understanding his clients' experiences. He takes a developmental perspective, both of people's difficulties and life challenges, and to his commitment to supporting efforts to achieve their chosen goals for improvement.
Similarly, in supportive consultative conversations with carers, be they parents or extended family in kinship care or guardians or professionals in fostering or residential care, Alan holds an empathic, open-minded attitude combined with a belief that in general each one of us is doing the best we can.
Collaborative Working & Expertise
Multiple skills and a range of frameworks for understanding and supportive interventions have been the benefits of four decades experience in work in emotional and psychological wellbeing, 27 years of this in NHS multidisciplinary services for children, young people, adults, couples and families.
Collaborative working will have my reliable availability, full presence and commitment to supporting work toward your chosen goals. This work will benefit from a similar commitment from consultee and family or supporting relationships and networks.
This will accelerate your progress and bring speedier gains to you in your health, career, relationships, studies, finances or family life, whichever is your focus.
Tailored Approach
This service includes detailed, in-depth exploration to assess through identifying strengths, gaps and opportunities, discovering under-used resources, and a focus on your chosen issue or topic.
Ongoing support is offered following the single session or series of four sessions. That this service is of value to you is important to me.
