Hello and welcome to Counselling for Change & Wellbeing

Sometimes, life can bring us to moments that feel overwhelming and too challenging to face on our own. Counselling can provide the support and guidance needed to navigate these difficult times in a safe and non-judgemental way.

For over two decades I have worked with a wide range of individuals facing various challenges. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, or personal growth, I am here to support you. My approach is flexible and tailored to meet your unique needs, ensuring that we address your specific concerns and work towards meaningful change in your life.

Initial Consultation:

I would be very happy to start our work together with a free phone consultation where you can let me know your reasons for calling, your expectations of working with me, and ask any questions you might have about how I work.as a counsellor.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Irène

Additional Experience & Development: Over the past twenty years I have continued to undergo extensive professional development in different areas such as:

Couples counselling

Somatic trauma

domestic violence

stress management

anger management

near linguistic programming

cognitive hypnotherapy

I have worked in different settings (Domestic Violence, EAP, Group Co-Facilitation).

From 2009 until 2023 I have worked as a core counsellor and supervisor for the counselling department at the Brunel University London, where I worked with students and staff individually as well as delivered workshop courses on stress.

(I hold a current and enhanced DBS check UK wide)

How I work:

As a person-centred/integrative counsellor, I believe deeply in the power of the therapeutic relationship and the importance of honouring your unique journey. We will work together at a pace that feels right for you, exploring various techniques to enhance your wellbeing and help you achieve your goals.

Areas of Expertise:

Sessions for individuals:

Your sessions will last for 50min. during which we will discuss your issue and explore the underlying causes without judgement but with an open mind. This new insight and practical tools will help you to look for new ways of managing problems more effectively. We will work together at a pace that suits you to support an affirmative and holistic process for any positive change to be lasting.

If you feel that you and your partner would want to learn new ways of interacting with each other, improving your connections and exploring healthier boundaries, then you might find that working with me offers you the right environment to do this in a safe and balanced way.
