Patricia Hayward

I have availability at present and offer weekday hours plus also evenings and weekends. I also offer home visits if that is the clients preference.

I am a trained CPCAB level 4 Person Centred Therapist and have been since 2019. 

I have experience of various issues, most of this from when I did my placement in Market Harborough. I started there in May 2018 and I still volunteer there weekly.

I also draw on my personal experiences if needed as I find this very useful.

My Counselling and personal experiences include the following:-

Marriage and divorce

Pregnancy, childbirth and miscarriage

Abusive relationships including narcissism and alcoholism.

Bereavement 

Money problems including bankruptcy

Nervous breakdowns

Low self esteem and self doubt

Overthinking

Anger issues

Person Centred Therapy allows the client complete autonomy in sessions. Together we work through problems and issues together until the client reached their goal. We also use ‘tools’ such as timelines, emotion cards, tangled ball of grief, seat swap - depending on clients needs.

Before a Client books a first session I always do a free phone assessment which takes about 20-30 minutes. This gives me an idea of what the client is looking for and also gives the client a chance to talk and see if they feel that we can work together.

In the first session we go through the counselling agreement which only takes a few minutes and if the client is happy it they sign 2 copies as do I. One copy goes in their file in a locked filing cabinet ( I am registered with the Information Commissioners Office) and the other copy they keep.
