About me and my therapy practice

Hello, I’m Celia, I am an integrative therapist based in Rothley, Leicestershire. I hold a Masters in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. It is important to me to offer you a counselling experience that is non-judgmental, compassionate, and caring. By nature, I am a creative person, so my approach offers a creative side when this is appropriate for you the client. My aim is for you to feel heard in a safe space provided by me, this can be face-to-face, online or via the telephone. I hope that you will feel supported by me in our work together.

I work with different theories, approaches, and techniques to best suit you as the client. I work by putting you at the centre of therapy offering empathy, being honest and open with you and providing a non-judgemental approach. Together we can explore patterns in relationships developed in childhood and how that is impacting your life now whilst also focusing in on thought processes and their impacts. I work within the ethical framework set out by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I have a background in Education where I was a Primary School Teacher for over 20 years. In this time my passion for mental health developed and saw me working to support children's and adults' mental health through the use of mindfulness techniques.

I have experience working with cancer in a therapeutic setting having volunteered for a cancer charity for the past 3 years. Here I supported clients who themselves had been diagnosed with Cancer but also other family members and relatives. I am currently working within an NHS setting supporting NHS staff members as a counsellor and psychotherapist within the Occupational Health and Wellbeing Service.

Practice description

People seek therapy for many different reasons, for instance, due to stress, anxiety, loss/grief, or facing a major life-changing event. Perhaps you are experiencing relationship issues or problems involving money or work difficulties. Whatever your reason, rest assured that I am here to support you along the way. Sometimes help in the form of professional support can be just what is needed. If you feel you may be struggling with any of these issues I would love to hear from you and walk along side you as we tackle these issues together.

I am currently working with young people aged 16+ and adults. I have experience working with a wide range of problems including depression, anxiety, grief/loss, personal and relationship issues, work-related stress, and emotional, financial, and sexual abuse. I have a specialty in working with people facing illness, especially cancer, including relatives affected by this issue.

The relationship that we build together is vital and central to how I work. Our work is guided by you and we will work together in a collaborative way to help you to move forward. By building this relationship we can explore what is going on for you and work at your own pace.

My first session

Prior to the 1st session, I offer a 15-minute introductory session which can be carried out over the phone or online. Our 1st session together will allow us to meet, I will be able to share with you how my practice works and you will have the chance to ask any questions. In this session, we will also complete an assessment together where I can take some information about you and we can both decide if we can work together in the future. This session will last one hour and will be charged at the usual rate.
