 Counselling in Gloucestershire Counselling in Gloucester, Stroud, and Cheltenham Welcome to my website. Perhaps you are having a casual browse or you may be looking for some counselling in Gloucester, Stroud, or Cheltenham. Either way I welcome you and hope I can be of some help.
There may be times when something is troubling you, but you are unable to think or work things through on your own. I can provide a professional and safe environment in which you can speak openly and confidentially about whatever is on your mind. I am trained to listen to you in a way that can help you recognise the source of your present difficulties, which may be rooted in the past. This process can offer the possibility of long lasting change.
How I Work I would like to think that at the heart of my Gloucestershire practice is what Carl Rogers refers to as the ability of the counsellor to treat each individual with "unconditional positive regard". This phrase has helped me appreciate the importance of the uniqueness and individuality of each person and mould my therapeutic approach to each person's individual needs. ONE SIZE does not fit all. My main theoretical framework is psychodynamic and I draw from a number of sources within psychodynamic parameters in my clinical practice. I am also experienced enough to work with people in solution focused therapy over a short period of time when that is more appropriate. Whatever approach I adopt I will endeavor to treat you with gentleness, sensitivity and respect.
Invitation I know very well that it is never easy to ask for help of this kind. You do not have to be alone in all of this. I have worked very closely with people in various capacities over the last 25 years. I am an experienced counsellor and have been established in private practice in Gloucester, Stroud, and Cheltenham for the last eight years. My training and experience allows me to work competently in open-ended and short-term counselling. I am a professional member of The Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC), UKCP Registered (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy), and an Accredited counsellor with BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and follow the BACP code of ethics. I'm here to understand and help, not to judge.
Clinical Supervision I also offer Professional Clinical Supervision to Counsellors, Trainee Counsellors and Care Organisations.
Location I have three consulting rooms in Gloucestershire: Central Gloucester GL1, Central Stroud GL5, and Central Cheltenham GL53. All locations are very private and 2/3 minutes walk from the centre.
Telephone Counselling A specified number of telephone counselling sessions can be arranged for those who, for whatever reason, are unable to travel to one of my consulting rooms.
On-Line Counselling Arrangements are under way for the provision of On-Line counselling. Please get in touch if this this way of working appeals to you.
