Profile

You are feeling some distress in your life and have made the significant decision that counselling might help you deal with it. How do you choose the right counsellor for you?

Hello, I’m Pam and I welcome you to my profile. You have probably done some research so you know the sort of things to look for when seeking a counsellor. Apart from being confident that the person is appropriately trained and qualified, you will want someone with whom you can feel comfortable and safe and in whom you can place your trust and confidence. You want someone who is genuinely interested in you and can tailor your therapy to meet your needs.

I aim to work with you to create that safe place, where you are assured of a warm, genuine, non-judgemental, confidential relationship to explore and reflect upon what is troubling you in your life. You are probably feeling vulnerable and I know how difficult it can be to come for counselling. You are unique, so there is no easy answer to choosing the right person for you. In the end, nothing replaces talking to, and meeting with, your proposed counsellor to see whether you feel that you can develop the all-important relationship with that person. After our first session, if we do not feel we can work together I would be happy to suggest another counsellor who I think may be more suitable for you.

Before training as a counsellor, I had a former business career in both public and private sectors, in a variety of roles. I bring maturity as well as broad life experience to my work as a counsellor. I have experienced major change and challenge in life, personally and professionally, and know how difficult and painful these can be, but also what opportunity for positive change they can bring. I believe that we all have the ability to deal with whatever life throws at us provided we have the right support. I would be privileged to work with you in providing a supportive, affirming relationship to help you deal with your challenges.

I work from the belief that you hold the personal insights and have the resources within you to move towards the change needed to best support your life aspirations. Your counselling needs to be individual to you and so I look forward to discussing with you how you feel I can best help you to meet your needs.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I have a diploma in counselling, am an accredited member of BACP and UKRCP registered. I am also trained in Lifespan Integration, which is a relatively new technique promoting rapid healing for people who have been through painful or frightening experiences. Lifespan Integration is also very effective in the healing of various attachment disorders. This is accomplished through imaginally 're-writing' and 're-living' the early conditions of life.

I have trained and worked as a counsellor in a number of settings, including the NHS, a mental health charity, a women’s centre specialising in trauma, a university counselling service, a bereavement charity. I have worked with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger management, trauma (including childhood abuse, rape), bereavement, major life events such as divorce, mid-life crisis, relationship issues, student counselling, issues in the workplace, menopause, termination and still-birth. I work with men and women and young people from age 16.
