Hi, my name is Hermione. I am a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor. I am the Founder of Potentilla Wellbeing Centre. I specialise in working with anxiety, low mood and stress management.

I also have experience supporting clients with personal development, resilience skills to help cope with life challenges, building on coping strategies for emotional regulation, navigating life changes and transitions, highlighting achievements for inner strength building, rebalancing inner conflicts and moving forwards to become unstuck.

I offer warmth, unconditional positive regard and empathy in our sessions together which are led by you. I hold the belief that all human beings have a natural tendency to move towards change and growth. I provide a genuine and compassionate safe space in our unique therapeutic relationship which aids your self-reflection, encourages better self-awareness and helps you process your emotions.

I work collaboratively with you and our session are a co-exploration around your thoughts, feelings and experiences. I work at your pace and invite you to share how you think and feel our work together is going, to ensure you’re getting the most from our sessions.

My integrative style means I can draw on techniques from Person-centred Approach, Gestalt Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to support our co-exploration and aid your organic growth.

Experience working at a holistic therapeutic service, a university health and wellbeing centre and a counselling service offering affordable counselling.

Experience working with a private healthcare provider and insurance providers, delivering short term, solution focused therapy.

Prior to counselling, I have experience in senior positions within healthcare and healthcare regulation.

After receiving your enquiry, I will aim to respond to you within 48 hours by sending you a follow up text or email from my private practice email address: admin@potentillawellbeingcentre.co.uk to arrange our 20-minute complimentary initial consultation. Please check your emails, including the spam/ junk folder after reaching out.

In sessions, we can talk about any issues you may be experiencing and can include things such as your childhood, past life events impacting you now and things you find difficult.

Our first meet is the initial consultation. This is for me to understand what you hope to get from therapy, helps you decide whether I am the right therapist for you and helps us plan and agree goals together for the therapeutic work.

I will ask you what has brought you to therapy, we can discuss the issues you want to explore and what you need from therapy. I may ask you about your background to ensure the services I offer are right for you.

We can then schedule in our regular sessions.
