To discuss current availability for counselling sessions please make contact via this site or via the contact page on the website.

Once agreed, it is preferred that counselling sessions continue at the same time and day of the week for the duration of your therapy with me. 

If I am able to support you through a counselling process, but I am unable to offer you a regular slot immediately, I can put you on a waiting list and contact you as soon as a place becomes free. You may then decide whether or not you still require the service. 

Hello, I am James, the founder of Adult Counselling Therapy Limited and the 'Book a Rant' service. I am a supporter of people who commit to improving their mental health.

I understand you might be feeling overwhelmed presently, and that life may be difficult to the point you don't know where to turn. I want to encourage you to have the courage to talk about your problems and challenges with a therapist. It really can be a life changing process.

I believe we are never the finished article. I continue to develop myself via regular supervision. This means I am both meeting the requirements of my professional body and I am able to provide you with a consistent ethical service that enables you to develop in your own way.   

So A.C.T. now and change your life for the better!

To access the 'Book a Rant' service, either respond on this site, or go to my own website www.adultcounsellingtherapy.co.uk and navigate through the pages for full details. 

What can you expect from me?

The attractiveness of my 'Book a Rant' counselling service with Adult Counselling Therapy Limited is the provision for sharing personal problematic experiences, thoughts and feelings, in a safe and confidential (see privacy and confidentiality page for details at www.adultcounsellingtherapy.co.uk) environment. Together, let's explore what challenges you.

I am passionate about helping others with the use of counselling therapy. My hope, is that you will leave our counselling therapy sessions feeling you have off-loaded stress and identified more positive and sustainable ways forward. I am confident that you will feel able to tackle life with an improved awareness and understanding of your thoughts, feelings and behavioural processes.

My extensive experience working in multiple industries particularly my 20 year career in a public sector role, linked with varied personal experience make me someone who can listen to you without judgement, without opinion and with unconditional positive regard, congruence and empathy to help you navigate and process what is going on for you.

Adult Counselling Therapy Ltd is a one-to-one counselling service. I hold appropriate insurance cover for the counselling services I provide and the location of my wonderful purpose built practice room in the heart of the Test Valley in Stockbridge, Hampshire. 

My 'BOOK A RANT' listening service is for anyone over the age of 18 and my client's well-being is at the heart of my counselling service. 

Visit my website www.adultcounsellingtherapy.co.uk for further details including terms of service. 

The first session will include a review of our contract and I will ask you to complete an overview assessment form (Core10) which involves answering ten quick questions to help me understand the current difficulties you are experiencing. I will also ask you to complete the same form during our final session together, to monitor the progress made.

If during the session there is a clear need for additional specific counselling help, I would always take the ethical position to provide you, the client, with opportunities to attain further help and provide suitable information to make those arrangements.
