Willow Langdale-Smith

There is currently a waiting list for my services. 

If you would like to make an enquiry to join my waiting list, I would be happy to offer an introductory zoom session or phone call for an initial assessment.

I will help you to find yourself.

You already have all the skills and knowledge you need to enjoy a fulfilling life: sometimes circumstances make it difficult to see how. Person Centred Counselling focusses on your experience and concerns, giving you space to feel safe and explore without judgement, or fear of shame. 

I have additional training in the Person Centred Creative Arts ( PCAT)certificate and offer creative counselling alongside traditional talking therapy: whatever you need.

I work with all age groups and welcome enquiries.

My specialisms are Neurodiversity and Special Educational Needs,  Domestic Violence,  Disability and Carers, Parent and Family concerns (esp Maternity), LGBT+, Trauma, Anxiety and Depression. 

I am a nature lover and artist, and work part time as a counselling tutor, I have an MSc in Psychology, with a special interest in mental health in Parent Carers and people living with disability.

I work with local authorities and third sector organisations providing expert input and collaboration into parent support programmes, and have specialised skills working with challenging behaviours.

• I offer face to face sessions on Tuesday evenings and Friday mornings in a comfortable and practical space on the South side of Loughborough. 
• At other times I work online via Zoom.
• Home visits are available at various times.

The Counselling session is led by you. I endeavour to provide a non judgemental and empathic space in which you can freely express the feelings and thoughts that you experience. 

If you need support by means of sensory activities/devices to help to regulate and concentrate, you are welcome to use your own, or I can provide a selection of items with prior notice.

Face to face work in Loughborough is currently held on Tuesday evenings and Friday mornings.

Our first appointment is to give us both an opportunity to learn about one another in a professional way, to decide if we can work together. 

In this session, I will explain in depth how I work, and will ask you some questions about your health and history. I will ask you to agree to my contract, so that we can work safely together. I welcome your questions at all stages and warmly invite you to interview me.

I will ask you to share your concerns so that I can understand what is on your mind and what you hope for from counselling.

At the end of this first session we will decide together if working together feels safe and appropriate, and will meet your needs, and plan our future meetings.

I am currently teaching CPCAB Level 2 Counselling Skills courses (2023-2024) at a training centre in the midlands. 

I am a Person Centred Counsellor in practice, working in different settings (private practice, schools) and providing professional training as a freelance CPCAB trainer.

I have 2 years experience of delivering the CPCAB Level 2 course. I am able to deliver the curriculum effectively, with a 100% pass rate in my students.
