Counsellor Profile

Is life feeling unmanageable, and your struggling to cope in your usual ways? ~ Could you benefit from a place to take some-time out, be yourself and explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of being judged?

There are times in all our lives when we feel unable to cope, as life challenges us all in its various ways. Sometimes the causes of our problems seem fairly clear, at other times our problems are difficult to understand and as much as we try we can find no answers. Talking to a Counsellor who is impartial and skilled, can help us to shed light on these unfathomed places, helping us to work through our personal difficulties in a safe, confidential and manageable way, finding new ways of coping.

My name is joanne and I am considered to be a sensitive and compassionate counsellor with a natural ability to put my clients at ease.

My experience of working within the primary care trusts (NHS) 'Counselling & Psychology' services has given me the experience of working with a wide range of issues within G.P's practices. As well as this I have worked for the 'Weald of Kent Hospice' with bereavement issues and also with adult men on a residential alcohol/drug rehabilitation programme at the 'Kenward Trust' in Yalding Kent.

I now have a small private practice where I am able to offer both brief and longer term counselling to my clients. My consulting room is situated in a private and pleasant setting where you can feel assured of both your privacy and safety.

I offer both Day & Evening appointments.

Training, Qualifications & Experience (more info)

I have a grounding in childhood development, Sociology and Psychology to foundation level ~ Some ten years after this and through the course of my own life experiences I embarked on a counselling career.

I have certificates in counselling skills and practice followed by an 'Advanced Diploma in Humanistic counselling' Adv Dip Couns.

My Diploma is accredited by the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and considered by the BACP to be a course of particulary high standards.

My training is 'Humanistic Intergrative' and draws from 'Person Centred', 'Transactional Analysis', 'Gestalt' and 'Psychosynthesis'.

Further to this I have trained in the 'Cognitive Behaviour Therapy' model (CBT) used and approved by the NHS as a solution focused brief model of therapy.

I work intergratively drawing from these different psychotherapy models depending on what appears to best suit the client. Each client is unique and so one particular model can never be considered to be the 'right' model as different models suit different individuals.

Areas of counselling I deal with

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Other areas of counselling I deal with

These are only a few examples of why some people come along for counselling. You may not identify with any of these, and that is ok. Some people come along for counselling simple with an awareness of needing to explore feelings of discontentment.

Fees

My fees are £35 a session.

Feel free to phone me if you would like to ask me any questions before making an appointment.
