Trina Driver

Hello. Thank you for exploring my profile.  I have been working therapeutically in London and Gloucestershire for 40 years with individuals and groups specialising in women and girls work. 

I now work only with women offering Therapeutic Counselling, Creative Therapy, and Mindfulness and Relaxation. Please feel free to message or email me to arrange a free "no strings" conversation to find out more about what I may be able to offer you.

My approach is warm and down to earth. I aim to de-mystify therapy and make it available to women from all walks of life.  
I can help you to work through specific challenges, or to work more generally to support you to become your best self - living your best life.

I work with clients in the UK and around the world online, but if you need to meet face to face, this can be arranged. I have availability outside of working hours if required.

I have experience of working with Anxiety, PTSD, Neuro divergence, Transgender people who have lived as women who are in transition (FTM or FTNB) - Highly Sensitive People, Childhood abuse, Sexual Assault Survivors, Grief, Relationships and Families (of course including same sex relationships and families), Chronic illness, Intellectual and Physical disability,  Addiction,  Autism, Trauma, Social anxiety, Shame, Depression, Eating disorders, Dysphoria, Dysmorphia, Hypochondria, Domestic Abuse, Life transitions, Difficulties/issues/trauma around Conception, Pregnancy, Birth, Menopause   -     and much more.

I use an integrative and person-centred approach which means that I use a number of therapeutic techniques in order to best meet your needs. You can have "straight forward" talking therapy or we can be creative and flexible to suit you. 

I will value and respect you as an individual and recognise your potential for change and your capacity to know what feels right for you.

I am passionate about offering equal opportunities and I gladly welcome diversity. If you have individual needs which make accessing counselling difficult, I will endeavour to meet your requirements.

I adhere strictly to the NCS and the BACP ethical frameworks. I am an accredited member of the National Counselling Society and I receive regular supervision from a BACP accredited supervisor.

Please see my website for testimonials and further information.

I have experience of working with Anxiety, PTSD, Highly Sensitive People, Childhood abuse, Sexual Assault Survivors, Grief, Relationships and Families (of course including same sex relationships and families), Chronic illness, Intellectual and Physical disability (including Ehlers Danlos),  Addiction,  Autism, Trauma, Social anxiety, Shame, Depression, Eating disorders, Dysphoria, Dysmorphia, Hypochondria, Domestic Abuse, Life transitions, Difficulties/issues/trauma around Conception, Pregnancy, Birth, Menopause   -     and much more.

I keep my fees at the lowest end of the scale at £40.00 in accordance with my socio-political beliefs. I passionately believe that therapy should be available to all women, and for this reason, should finances prohibit you from accessing counselling, I will endeavour to negotiate a fee that you can manage. Alternatively, should you have the desire and the means to pay more, this is most welcome at your discretion as this enables me to offer more concessions. 

In some circumstances, half hour sessions might be appropriate. These follow the same fee structure - beginning at £20.00.

I have experience of working with:

Highly Sensitive People (HSPs)

Women for whom contact is extremely difficult (through fear or shame or other communication difficulties). (Sessions can be arranged in a way that is manageable for you - including, for example, typing on Skype, email exchange or texting. )

Women in same sex relationships and their families.

People with learning and/or physical disabilities and their families.

Carers.
