Hilary Dixon

I’m a humanistic counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor with experience spanning 17 years. I work integratively and I am trauma-informed. I love my work and am passionate about supporting others with their mental health, growth and wellbeing.

I remember how daunting it was trying to find the right therapist for myself 25 years ago. It’s extremely important to know you are in safe hands and your therapist is competent, capable, trustworthy and able to support you for the short or long term. You hope to be properly heard and understood and feel able to explore issues that are affecting you. You want to feel happier, supported, adopt coping strategies, if needed, and discover a place of calm despite the challenges you are facing.

If this is what you are looking for then please get in touch either through my website www.positivenewyou.co.uk or by emailing me using the link below. 

I work in a creative and flexible way to ensure the therapy aligns with your way of thinking and doing, and I regularly check in to see that you are happy with our sessions.

Whether you require face to face or online  please get in touch to see if I can assist you on this path to a more "positive new you".

You can book an initial session by visiting my website www.positivenewyou.co.uk or by arranging a free 15 minute call prior to booking.

I can assure you of a warm welcome and I look forward to speaking with you.

My private practice is located within Broadoaks Health Clinic in Solihull which is also home to physiotherapy, chiropody and chiropractic services. My therapy room is in a quiet area of the building that can be accessed via the back door (avoiding the reception) and up the stairs. My room is quiet, cosy and confidential & I very much look forward to welcoming you to it.

I currently have some availability online via Zoom if you would like  supervision. 

Accredited BACP psychotherapist & Supervisor

I supervise trainee and qualified therapists/coaches online or in person.

My practice has evolved over my 17 years as a therapist and my theoretical framework is integrative (though forever mindful of my person-centred roots). I practice mindfulness and have a strong interest in neuroscience both of which inform my practice.

I am passionate in supporting other therapists to grow and thrive within this rewarding & caring profession. 

I currently work in private practice and have worked previously for the NHS, a sixth form college, a university, charity and a county council.

My original training was in clinical hypnotherapy and NLP back in 2000. Desperate to work more long term and in depth with clients I went on to study person centred counselling at Warwick University comparing and contrasting it with CBT and psychodynamic counselling over the 4 year degree. 

In addition I have undergone the process of Accreditation with BACP and able to assist other therapists through the accreditation process.

My qualifications:

Level 6 Diploma in Clinical Supervision 2022

BACP Accreditation 2019

BA (Hons) Counselling & Psychotherapy, Warwick University 2011-2016

Diploma in Hypnotherapy, NLP & Coaching 2005

If you are interested in us working together & would like to talk further, please contact me direct at hilarydixon@positivenewyou.co.uk or via my website www.positivenewyou.co.uk where you will find free appointment slots. Alternatively please pick up the phone and call me on 07752219118 and leave a message. I look forward to speaking with you, Hilary. 

If you are thinking of changing supervisor or looking for your first supervisor (how exciting!) please contact me and we can have an initial chat to see if we are a good fit. Finding the right supervisor is really important for your growth and wellbeing as well as best practice. 

I have had 8 supervisors since starting my therapy training in 2001, the longest relationship being six years. All of those relationships have been valuable in one way or another and I have learnt so much ( and continue to learn!) Different work places and placements often means you don't get to choose your own supervisor but if you are in the position of choosing your own now then please take your time. 

You can book an appointment with me online (free btw) by going to www.positivenewyou.co.uk and we can meet initially via Zoom. I look forward to meeting with you and can assure you of a warm reception with no obligation.
