Collette Carnegie-Alleyne

I am available Mondays 9am - 6pm

Tuesdays from 5pm until 9pm

Thursdays and Fridays 9am - 8pm

Occasional Saturdays mornings 

Currently in my final year of a Masters degree in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy and I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor, with over 20 years experience in Social Care.  I am also a qualified Domestic Abuse adviser and have working and personal experience of working with abuse, trauma, depression, self-esteem, grief, loss, identity and cultural issues and addiction.  I also have experience as a group facilitator for peer support groups.

I have an emphatic and calming approach with my clients giving them the space to explore their thoughts and feelings in a compassionate, safe and non judgemental way.  I want to embark on the journey of exploration with my clients, so that they can safely become self aware and be contained whilst doing so, thus building an therapeutic alliance with my clients.

I currently provide online and telephone counselling; both short-term and long-term sessions.  I do provide face to face sessions on Tuesday evenings.

I will utilise different modalities to suit my clients as no two clients are the same and to make their experience unique/bespoke to them.

I also provide African Centred Therapy for clients of African/Caribbean descent.

I do accept clients who are unemployed on a sliding scale of between £20-£30.

The cost for students is from £35.00 per session

Couples Counselling is from £90.00 for an 90 minutes

The consultation/Assessment cost is £60.00 for 60 minutes

My initial session would be a 60 minute consultation/Assessment, where the potential client and I would ascertain some basic details; family background, next of kin, what the client would hope or expect from therapy; what has brought them to therapy at this time.
