Jackie Williams, MBACP Accredited, UKRCP

Profile

I am an experienced counsellor who offers clients immediate access to therapeutic support. My practice is in a convenient location close to Richmond Bridge, a short walk from Richmond station and on several major bus routes. Appointments are available weekdays and evenings and I also offer some low cost places.

At certain times it can seem more difficult than usual to cope alone with problems, particularly if there are major life changes, such as bereavement, relationship breakup, or work related issues, which may lead to anxiety, depression or anger.

My early career in corporate media provided an insight into some of the issues that can cause stress in our lives. I have also witnessed at first hand the devastating effects that depression and alcohol abuse can have on a family.

Seeking counselling at such times is a way of sharing these issues with someone who is trained to listen and support, whilst helping to bring about a clearer understanding and find ways of moving forward.

My personal experience of bereavement and loss initially brought me into counselling and it was not until my children had grown-up that I began training. I worked for two years as a counsellor for MIND and I am also an accredited bereavement counsellor with CRUSE.

In addition to my Private Practice I currently also work as a sixth form counsellor, where I offer support to young people from a wide variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
