Eric Blencowe

In my practice I aim to offer a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your challenges confidentially and without judgement. I offer short- and long-term counselling, depending on your unique needs and wishes. My role is to be with you, to listen to you and to observe you as you make sense of your feelings, thoughts and behaviours and to support you in moving forward so that you can realise your full potential.

I have worked with a broad diversity of clients presenting with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, stress (including work-related), historic and current bullying, low self-esteem, trauma, post-traumatic stress, relationships, and adult survivors of child abuse. In addition to these, I specialise in the following areas: Boarding School Survivor Syndrome (see https://www.boardingschoolsurvivors.co.uk/ for more information); living with life-limiting illnesses; difficulties and challenges experienced being LGBTQ&A; and difficulties arising within mixed-race relationships.

I take an integrative approach to my work, adapting my practice to the specific needs and wishes of each client. As such, I tend to listen and to make observations, ask questions and seek clarifications, employing a more interactive approach than one of pure person-centredness.

I charge £60 per session, although I do offer two concessionary spaces for clients who would have difficulty affording the full fee. The fees for these slots are negotiable upon request.
