Barbara Thomas MBACP (Accred)
Email meAbout me
I can help you work through your issues by listening attentively and without judgement to how things are for you. I am committed to understanding you, accepting you and helping you find your way.
I am a person centred counsellor and this means that I work with you holistically as a whole person rather than a series of issues. I have experience of working with people experiencing difficulties in a wide range of areas which include, Relationship issues, Depression, Stress (including work stress), Anxiety, Anger, Childhood sexual abuse and Bereavement. I work with both individuals and couples.
My aim is to provide you with a safe place to explore what is going on for you. Having the opportunity to talk freely, and know that you are being heard by someone who is not going to judge you or jump in with advice, can make a huge difference.
