Profile

Colleen has worked with adults and adolescents within a counselling agency, together with running her own private practice on the Cheshire/Shropshire/Welsh border.

Colleen you helped me to get the old me back,  I feel a can see things in perspective now

  Colleen uses a down to earth approach, her aim is to help you find a better outcome no matter what the problem is.  Colleen is a BACP registered person-centred counsellor and a NCH registered hypnotherapist, with experience of working one-to-one with complex bereavement and loss and those who: have problems forming or maintaining relationships; have been bullied or self harmed; lack self-confidence and self esteem; feel anxious or depressed; have suffered emotional or physical abuse either recently or in the past; suffer phobias, panic attacks or obsessions - the list is not exhaustive. Her private practice is on the ground floor, located on the Welsh border, local to Whitchurch, Shropshire and clients come from Shropshire, Wrexham and Cheshire. GP, and Private Health referrals are welcome but not necessary.   Colleen is caring, non-judgmental and above all, offers somewhere you can be accepted for who you are and you can work at your own pace, no issue is ever trivial, too great or small. If you'd like to talk to her about what counselling or hypnotherapy might mean for you, or to book an appointment, Colleen would be happy to hear from you. Working with The Long Boat Home group of UK psychotherapists and counsellors Colleen offers half-price sessions to anyone who is serving, or has served, in our forces - she also extends the same offer to their partners, adult dependants, and their parents. Colleen recognizes the need to support counselors in training and offer discounted rates for both short and long term work for all trainees.. For more information please visit her website. .
