Shelley Alcock

I am available Monday to Friday and have availability during the day and evenings.

I offer face to face sessions at my Cheltenham location or online. I also offer visits to schools, work placements or alternative provisions, these need to be discussed beforehand. 

Hello my name is Shelley snd I am the founder of Cheltenham’s counselling Centre.

I am a qualified adult and child Therapeutic Counsellor and have a vast amount of experience as a pastoral worker working in schools and a counsellor working for a charity, working in schools and running my private counselling agency.

I am a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and offer online sessions via zoom or telephone. These sessions provide a, confidential, supportive environment where clients can feel safe and explore the work through any emotional or life difficulties. I believe by offering online counselling this gives each individual the ability to reach their true potential within the safety of their chosen space. 

I offer online counselling sessions for both children and adults. 

My counselling suite is a confidential space where clients would not be over heard and can talk openly and safely.

I use either Zoom, which has been approved as safe to use for confidential meetings, or telephone counselling. I believe this gives the client to autonomy to decide where they want their sessions to be held, ensuring their space is both safe and familiar.

Being a single parent myself, I often had to consider childcare when booking appointments, by offering online sessions this allows people the opportunity to receive counselling without having to organise or pay additional costs for childcare.

I also believe online sessions help reach out to those who have social anxiety and struggle to leave their homes or safe places. 

Our first session will be a getting to know each other session. It is important you feel comfortable with me and we both feel we can work well together.

There will be some information sharing including our contract, confidentiality policy and how we can work well together. 

I have availability Monday to Friday day time or evenings. I work face to face at my Cheltenham location or online. 

I feel the most important part of the therapy & supervision is to create a safe boundaried relationship. This allows for an honest relationship to enable transparent exploration in sessions to aid support, facilitate emotional healing and to nurture potential future growth & learning.

I offer 1-1 clinical Supervision as well as small group supervision. 

To register your interest please contact me.

I offer supervision from a relational, Person Centred perspective, although my supervisor training enables me to see the importance of supporting, monitoring and teaching aspects of Supervision.

I am a adult, young people and children's counsellor and supervisor. Supporting counsellors, play therapists, young workers, care staff and education staff.

I offer a range of creative ways of exploration if supervisees wish to use them.

I work with all levels of counsellors from trainees… to senior accredited. I also work with other professionals who need clinical supervision for their work

My style is collaborative, exploratory and supportive

The first session is a time to ask questions explore requirements and to check we both feel comfortable to work together

Issues such as availability, regularity and contractual issues could be explored

If you’re a trainee it’s helpful for me to know what paperwork is involved for your course
