Wendy Sutherst, MA, Advanced Diploma, MBACP

Profile

I am an experienced counsellor, accredited with BACP and hold an MA in Counselling Studies. I am an integrative counsellor, eg using CBT, transactional analysis, brief focused therapy etc, underpinned by Person Centred Approach,which is based on empathy, honesty and accepting each person as themselves. This enbales me to work with each person individually to match the type of counselling to their specific needs and issues.

Counselling is about change. It is confidential and I offer a safe place where you are able to give time to yourself to look at and explore the difficulties and problem areas in your life. It enables you to understand yourself and your situation and can support and empower you during any decisions or changes you may wish to make in your life.

Counselling is not about giving advice.

Fees

Counselling is usually taken as one hour sessions on a weekly basis but this is flexible, as is the number of sessions you may require. This depends on the issue brought to counselling.

Usually up to 6 to 8 sessions are agreed and reviews are undertaken at regular intervals to ensure that we are working together effectively and towards your specific aim.

Day time sessions are charged at £30, evening sessions at £35 and couples counselling at £40 per session. Payment is usually made at the beginning of each session by either cheque or cash.
