Bernadette Hall

As an Integrative Counsellor, I bring experience and a compassionate approach to my practice. I have a diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy and  I am registered with the BACP. I am dedicated to providing holistic and personalised mental health support to individuals seeking a path to healing and self-discovery.

Professional Background:

Since 2005 I have worked with people in a supportive capacity.  I have a diverse background that includes working in private practice, community education centres, educational settings and the NHS. My diverse roles has allowed me to  experience many challenges that people may face, it has also allowed me to develop a deep understanding of various therapeutic modalities, enabling me to tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client.

Philosophy:

At the core of my practice is the belief in the integration of different therapeutic approaches. I understand that each individual is unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach may not be effective. Drawing from person centred, nature therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT),  humanistic approaches, and mindfulness techniques, I create a customised therapeutic plan for each client.

Areas of Expertise:

I specialise in a wide range of mental health issues, including anxiety, stress, diagnosis, workplace bullying, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.  I am particularly passionate about helping individuals navigate the complexities of their lives, empowering them to make positive changes and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.

Holistic Approach:

I recognise the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, and physical well-being, so I take a holistic approach to counselling. I encourage clients to explore the mind-body connection and integrate practices such as mindfulness, relaxation techniques, and stress management into their therapeutic journey.

Client-Centred Care:

I strive to be a warm and empathetic counsellor. I aim to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions freely. I actively collaborate with clients, fostering a partnership that empowers them to take an active role in their own healing process.

Continued Professional Development:

Committed to staying abreast of the latest developments in the field, I regularly engage in ongoing professional development. I participate in workshops, attends conferences, and pursue additional certifications to enhance my knowledge and skills. I have regular supervision.
