Maureen Fenner | Counsellor

Counselling Ashford

I work in an integrative way, incorporating person centred and humanistic theory. I am solution focused and believe clients come to me, looking for a solution to their problems.  Sometimes it transpires that there isn't a solution - then I help my clients to embrace their reality in the most comfortable way for them.

I believe that 'your best friend is you' and  so I help clients learn about themselves and work towards an acceptance of 'self'  ofetn through psychodynamic  work [looking back at their early years].  I sincerely believe that  my role to be supportive of my clients, and to help them feel that they are not alone with their worries, we are working through things together.

As well as my private work, I also volunteer in a Hospice as bereavement work is something I find to be particularly rewarding, along with relationship and family work.

I love what I do as a counsellor. Helping people understand their feelings is a privilege, because once we understand why we feel as we do about things, it is easier to move forward with our lives
