Profile

Hi! My name is Haoli (said like Hayley, but with an 'O' in the middle...) and I would count it a privilege to work with you, if you felt I was the right counsellor for you.

So, who am I and how can I help you?
Well, I'm a married woman in my late 50's, with two grown-up children - and a dog named Ben! And, having experienced many of life's difficulties, I went into counselling as I wanted to help other people find help and healing for their damaged emotions. Because, the truth is, that at some point in life, most people experience a sense of feeling overwhelmed, either by their emotions, or by their circumstances. So, my aim as your counsellor, is to provide a confidential and supportive environment in which you can explore these difficulties, make sense of the intense feelings you might be experiencing, and to find ways of managing your situation in a more effective and meaningful way. 

My experience:
As a counsellor, I’ve worked with many different issues including depression, anxiety, bereavement and low self esteem, and have a particular interest in working with people who’ve experienced abuse – in whatever form. Whatever the difficulty, however, it usually involves relationship difficulties as well, so dealing with separation, divorce and other family issues has been an ongoing part of my work.

So how can counselling help?
Sometimes just talking things through with someone who’s non-judgemental and outside of your situation can help you to see things more clearly, and to make sense out of what’s going on. However, the model I use is "integrative", which means that I draw from different models of counselling, and can therefore work in the way which suits you best. Depending on the help you want, we might therefore explore how patterns of behaviour learnt in the past are affecting you in the present, or perhaps how your thought processes are influencing your emotions - and what effect these feelings might be having on you. But whatever your difficulties, within this safe and confidential setting, you'll be able to talk freely and openly, whilst exploring how to move forward in a way which works best for you.

How can you be sure I’m the right counsellor for you?
I'm glad you asked! Of course there’s lots of good advice on the internet about finding the right counsellor, but until you meet me, you won’t really know for sure; and that’s why I offer an initial free session, so that we can meet each other, discuss what you'd like to achieve through counselling, and decide whether or not we feel working together will be helpful for you.

Where do I work?
I work from my home on the northern side of Swindon, and use a private room which overlooks the garden. Parking is always freely available; however if you come by bus, then the Number 13 & 14 buses stop right at the end of my street. When necessary, I can also work from a venue in Highworth.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

As a counsellor, I hold a CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and I'm a member of both the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) as well as the Association of Christian Counsellors (ACC). This means that I'm a qualified Counsellor and that I abide by the ethical codes of practice laid down by these professional bodies. In addition, I hold a post-graduate degree in Psychology, I'm a qualified teacher and trainer, and am involved in training other counsellors.

As I'm committed to ongoing personal development and training, I attend regular workshops and courses to a) increase my own level of competency and b) to keep abreast of current developments in the field of counselling and psychotherapy.
