Valerie | Counsellor

Counselling Liverpool

In my practice, you’ll find a confidential, welcoming space where you can freely explore emotions and issues that are troubling you. My goal is to build a trusting, open relationship with you where you can feel supported and understood. I won’t give advice or tell you what to do, instead, I’m here to support you in discovering your own solutions and insights, recognising that you have the power within you to bring about change. I aim to create a therapeutic space where you feel comfortable and able to explore different areas of your life, to say the things which might seem they can’t be said elsewhere.

I work with a wide range of clients aged 18 and above facing challenges that may involve: Stress and Anxiety; Depression; Low Self-Esteem/Confidence; Domestic Abuse; Self-Harm; Relationship/Marriage Issues; Bereavement; Childhood Issues; Trauma; Work-Related Issues.

Some feedback from clients: ‘Before I started counselling my life was a complete mess due to the abuse I suffered. Val my counsellor is very understanding and I felt comfortable to open up to her. She has helped me so much I can’t thank her enough. Since finishing counselling my life has changed for the better...' Sarah

My first session

I offer a free introductory phone call, up to 15 minutes long. This might involve discussing what has brought you to therapy and any questions you may have. Also it will be a chance for you to get a sense of whether you’d like to work with me. There’s no expectation to commit to anything further.

If you decide to continue with myself, our first full session will be spent exchanging basic details, exploring what's going on for you and setting some counselling goals.

 

My counselling contract is open ended and therefore you can have as little or as many sessions as you feel appropriate.

 

I offer both in-person and online sessions and am fully competent in delivering both, in line with BACP guidelines.
