About me and my therapy practice
Hi, I’m Barbara I’m a qualified person-centred counsellor and a registered member of the BACP, welcome to my profile page. There is nothing as certain as change in life and sometimes this can lead to feelings of overwhelm, anxiety or feelings of helplessness. I believe that everyone has resources within them that help them to build resilience to help cope with life’s events. Given the right environment and relationship, I believe that change for the better can be made. Coming to counselling can feel like a big step, but talking things over with someone who isn’t already in your existing circle of friends can help, and by working together collaboratively, things can be different. My qualifications include a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and I have experience working with adults, young people and children.
Practice description
My practice provides a calm, safe and empathic environment, where you have the opportunity to understand yourself and your situation better, and can experience growth. We can also work using creative techniques, depending on your needs. I don’t tell you what to do, but we work at your pace and focus to help you to feel more empowered using your strengths.My first session
I currently offer a 20 minute free consultation before you book the first session, this helps us to decide together if this is the right support for you. In the first session, we can talk about what has brought you to therapy and what you would like to get from it. We can then plan any further sessions if you feel comfortable with them, and we agree that they will be beneficial for you.What I can help with
