Neill Summers

I am not available at weekends.

Welcome to Willow Tree Counselling Service, I am a well grounded and qualified therapeutic counsellor and supervisor with an easy going, genuine and honest approach to life that enables me to communicate and build trust within relationships with people from all walks of life and I believe that everybody should be treated equally and have the opportunity to reach their full potential within society.

As a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy BACP, I work within their ethical framework offering individual counselling in a variety of ways and approaches that enables me to offer long or short term counselling dependent on the client's needs.

I have a vast military background having served over 10 years in HM Forces giving me the ability to connect, relate and emphasize with the daily issues and struggles that many Serving men and woman, Ex- Forces and their families encounter.

I also have vast experience of working with children, young people and vulnerable adults facing many issues in life from abuse, anxiety, Bereavement, depression, family/relationship issues, social issues, mental illness, low self-esteem, victims of crime and substance misuse to name a few.

The service also provides counselling within both primary and secondary mainstream schools as well to young people within an alternate education setting.

My practice operates between Monday to Friday and at present to keep within the government guidelines surrounding the Corona Virus I am offering clients sessions via Telephone or Zoom online as to ensure their safety and be able to continue offering the help and support they need during the tough times within our Country and around the World.

Each counselling session is one hour long and at the end of the initial session I will invite you to make a convenient session day and time for us both and this will continue moving forward during the length of your counselling.

I work flexibly Monday to Friday.

I am an experienced integrative counsellor offering a safe and supportive professional environment in which supervisees may bring their client work, explore ethical issues and develop professionally. Supervision with me is an opportunity to explore and better understand yourself and the relationships with your clients as to give you more awareness and offer the opportunity for growth within your practice.

I work with an integrative approach and offer supervision to qualified counsellors and student counsellors by using the Seven Eyed model of supervision. I have considerable experience of working with children and young people within educational settings. Sessions are face to face, by telephone or online via zoom, whichever you feel most comfortable with and is convenient to yourself.
