Angela Brooke

I work from Monday to Friday between 9am and 8pm and Saturday mornings between 9 am and 1pm. 

Life can be difficult and we can sometimes find ourselves struggling and feeling anxious, unconfident or depressed. We may find ourselves battling with the feelings evoked by loss, due to bereavement, relationship breakdown or even the children leaving home. 

Counselling is not a magic cure, but talking to an empathic, skilled therapist can help; fostering both the processing of difficult feelings and resilience to better deal with what life throws at us, enabling us to move forward. The effect of just being listened to by those who have struggled to be heard and be both powerful and empowering. 

I am an experienced, empathic counsellor and I exercise gentleness and sensitivity in my approach. I am interested in helping people accept and be compassionate with themselves so that they can remove obstacles to their growth and lead fulfilling lives. Compassion, authenticity and resilience are key words for me. 

I try to keep my fees affordable and have found that this leads to rewarding and fruitful long term work and a trusting atmosphere. 

I am currently working online only but hope to soon return to working from my small, cosy outbuilding a few feet from the back of my home. 

The first session will be an opportunity for you to tell me what has brought you to therapy and what is causing you distress. It will also  be an opportunity for us to see if we can work well together. 

My working hours are  Monday to Friday from 9 am to 7PM and Saturday from 9am to 1pm . I am currently available for online supervision only. 

I offer a warm, supportive, non-judgemental space for therapists to explore and reflect on their practice and develop their skills. 

 I enjoy working in a collaborative way and will bring my knowledge and experience to the table while maintaining an interest in you and how you work. 

I charge £40 for an hour and £60 for one and a half hours. I am aware of the high cost of counselling training and the challenge for newly qualified counsellors working to build up their caseloads so offer concessions; typically £45 for one and a half hours. 

I enjoy working with trainees, newly qualified and experienced therapists.
