Polly Burns MBACP, BSc (Hons)

Profile

Offering the kind of counselling you need when you want it on 01603 440078, I am a BACP  and UKCP registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Crisis Therapist. I work within an Integrative model of therapy, which includes CBT, allowing me to meet your individual needs.

I work as part of a team offering immediate 'emotional first-aid' to those temporarily finding themselves unable to cope and needing a quick and effective solution to their crisis. I also offer non immediate counselling/therapy. I specialise in working with anxiety and depression.
We will see you within 48 hours following your call (see website for further information).

I also offer a professional counselling service for individuals, families and couples on a longer term basis. All clients are able to discuss personal issues of any kind in a safe and confidential environment.
