Wendy Beaton MBACP Dip Counselling. RN (LD)

Profile

I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and the Person-Centred Art Therapy Association (P-C.A.T.A). and work within their codes of Ethics and and professional practise.

I will not Judge or advise you, this is your 'time 2 talk' and experience the power of being really heard and understood.

I have worked in my own private practise for 10 years at time-2-talk-counselling.com in caterham and I have also worked at a local hospice and a charity supporting young people.

Talking therapies aim to:
*Explore choices and action
*Release bottled up feelings
*Enable you to feel heard and understood
*Increase your understanding of underlying problems, as well as obvious areas of division and dispute

Given the right support and conditions, we can make the changes we need to in order to fulfill our potential.

I believe that the relationship between the therapist and the client is at the centre of the counselling process, and it is ultimately this relationship that most promotes well-being, growth, healing and changes for my clients.

My approach is integrative, broadly humanistic based on Carl Rogers person-centred approach, Gestalt therapy, Transactional Analysis, and Cognitive Behavioural counselling. I draw on a variety of creative methods to work with each unique
individual client.

I believe that using creative methods, such as Person-centred art therapy, gestalt body awareness and free expression can lead to a deeper understanding of how we think, feel and behave in our lives and may deepen our ability to relate more effectively with ourselves and to others.

I offer an initial daytime Assessment FREE OF CHARGE
