Vivienne Charnley

I offer face to face sessions from my home office.  I also offer telephone consultations.

My working hours are 9.30am to 7.00pm, Monday to Friday.

I do not work at weekends.

*Please note I will NOT be working between 1st October 2024 and 11th November 2024.

I am a compassionate, qualified and experienced counsellor. I am also a trained, currently non-practising midwife.  I work from my consulting room in my home in Great Sutton. With thirty years experience,  my knowledge and skills have developed working in the NHS, private practice and across a variety of settings.  I am passionate about counselling and I am privileged to have supported many clients through some very difficult and often complex life events. 

I have an eclectic approach and I am trained in and work as an integrative counsellor. Individualised holistic care is at the core of my practice. I have a calm, relaxed, flexible and open style of working. As a practitioner I am empathic, warm and non judgmental. I genuinely believe in people and their capacity to heal and address difficulties effectively. I have witnessed many individuals who, with counselling support and through their own endeavours, belief and commitment have made incredible, life affirming changes.

I encourage prospective clients to contact me either by phone or email in the first instance. We then arrange a free initial phone consultation. Seeking counselling can be daunting for some and it is important to feel that you are safe, in control and comfortable. This consultation gives us a chance to get a sense of each other and to see if we feel we could work well together. By the end of this first session you will hopefully feel there is focus on the outcomes you want and a sense that I am able to help you achieve them.
