What is Counselling?

The BACP (British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy) definition of counselling:- Counselling takes place when a counsellor sees a client in a private and confidential setting to explore a difficulty the client is having, distress they may be experiencing or perhaps their dissatisfaction with life, or loss of a sense of direction and purpose. It is always at the request of the client as no one can properly be 'sent' for counselling. I am an Accredited member of the BACP and work within their ethical framework and guidelines. I receive regular supervision in line with BACP requirements. For information visit:- www.bacp.co.uk.

Counselling and CBT can offer help and support with:

Anxiety and related feelings of panic,
Bereavement, grief and loss,
Couple Counselling and relationship breakdown,
Depression and low mood,
Eating Disorders,
Family issues and difficult dynamics,
Health related issues and terminal illness,
Lack of Confidence and Low Self Esteem,
Pet Bereavement, Relationship issues,
Breakdown in communication,
Work related issues,
Bullying and team issues


and many more issues...

Sessions will last approximately 1 hour.

An assessment will take place during the first session to identify what support you may require. This may take the form of brief work over approximately 6 to 8 sessions or longer term work in Counselling or CBT.
