About me

*** NOW OFFERING WEEKDAY EVENINGS  AND SATURDAY'S FOR ONLINE, OVER THE PHONE OR FACE TO FACE SESSIONS***

Welcome to Aimee Norris Counselling - MBACP

Are you feeling low, anxious, stressed or lost? or maybe you feel like you have some unfinished business which is stopping you from moving on with your life?, maybe you are feeling depressed, are grieving or going through a relationship break down?

What ever your circumstances might be I am here to help support your needs.

I offer a professional and confidential service which moves at your pace. I believe that no matter how big or small you feel your situation is, if it is effecting you then its important to me.

About me and my practice

I am a fully qualified Counsellor, who has been practicing for the past 6 years working with clients ranging from the ages of 18 and over.

The clients I have worked with have gained a lot from their therapy, because I am approachable, empathic, congruent and not afraid to be creative in my practice to help raise my client's awareness to promote their self growth.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in line with the Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions they provide.

I believe that counselling gives people the opportunity to invest in themselves to better their future by exploring areas in their lives which challenges their thoughts, feelings, behaviours and emotions.

I work as an integrative counsellor who uses a variety of skills and techniques from different theories such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person Centred Therapy (PCT) and Gestalt Therapy. This allows me to work with a wide range of client issues and adapt my practice to the way they work best to ensure their therapy is effective because no two people are the same.

If you are struggling with any areas in your life where you feel stuck and/ or would like to explore and learn better ways of coping to help you through the challenging times in your life, please get in touch with me for a chat to discuss what we can arrange to support you.

What to expect from a first session

I understand that it can be hard to know where to start when finding the right therapist for you.

You want to be able to trust the person you are talking to and know that your not being judged for the way you think or feel.

This is why I offer a discounted first session with no obligation to book a second session in if you do not feel I am the right person for you.

At your first session we will discuss the agreement between us and I will talk you through all the relevant information before we begin. This will also give you the opportunity to ask any questions and tell me a bit about what brings you to therapy.

After the session has come to an end we will discuss whether or not you would like to book another session in.

My priority is to ensure you come first so I will respect your privacy and offer this safe environment for you to be yourself.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).

Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.

Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.

All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Additional information

Prices – For Individuals, each session lasts 60 minutes and the cost is £50 per session. I do understand that trying to find the right counsellor to suit your therapy needs can be hard to find so I offer a £45 first session so that you can get to know me and get a feel whether I am the right counsellor for you.

For couples, I offer either 60 or 90 minute sessions (please contact me for more information including prices). 

Payments can be made by cash, card or Bank transfer (although I ask that any transfers are made half an hour before the session starts and any card or cash payments are made at the end of each session).

As well as face to face sessions, I also offer telephone and online counselling using Zoom to ensure the safety of my clients, however we would need to discuss the confidentiality around doing this type of therapy.
