Counselling Cheltenham

You might be looking to resolve an issue, live more fully or maybe you just want to be seen and properly heard! Whatever it might be I can offer you the hand of support. 

 

I believe that you have everything you need but sometimes you might need space to explore how you might go about it.

 

Our relationship will be like no other. There will be no jargon but rather a felt experience of warmth, compassion, non-judgement and empathy felt between us.  I believe that if we can achieve this in our sessions then you will have everything you need to live effectively with what you bring.

 

I have worked in a large corporate employee assistance programme (welfare service) offering counselling. During this time I worked with a range of clients from many backgrounds covering the majority of common mental health feelings such as anxiety, depression, stress and loss. I also have experience working with clients who present some complex needs in association with suicide ideation, abuse and trauma.

 

I have therapy rooms in Cheltenham and Gloucester. Both locations are discreet, are in reach of public transport and there is parking near by. I can sign in British Sign Language to a low level. 

If you would like to know more or book an appointment, please send me a message.

Online therapy

I use Zoom or Telephone for online therapy.  I have completed the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy Open University course to do this.  

 

For Zoom I set up the meeting and email you the link.  You click on the link at the set day and time and that is it!

 

For telephone I phone you so that the call is free to you.  You just pay for the therapy session itself. When I phone you I block my caller ID to ensure your confidentiality. 

 

If we agree online therapy as a best medium for you we will discuss it before hand in order to get you up and running quickly.



Statement concerning the coronavirus pandemic

Our safety, the safety of our loved ones and of our  community is paramount. I still offer a face to face service but in order to do this I observe UK law with respect to the pandemic.


My face to face work is risk assessed and shaped by guidance from:

- the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)

- British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)

- National Counselling Society (NCS)

- My Public and Professional Indemnity Insurer (Holistic)

- A discussion between you and I on the risks associated to the both of us

 

Having completed a risk assessment based on the above I only use COVID Secure locations. I will share this document with you prior to a face to face meeting. My assessment covers both Cheltenham and Gloucester locations.

 

In our initial free telephone consultation we would spend 15 minutes discussing if face to face were the best solution for your specific needs.  If face to face were not suitable then Zoom or telephone might offer a solution for our meetings instead.
