Bournville Counselling Practice (Eleni Kypridemos MBACP)
Email meAbout me
For me, counselling is vocational. I feel passionately that everyone should be able to access therapeutic services of a high standard. We work together in an open, empathic and trust building way.
*** Instant messaging counselling available from 4th September 2017 ***
You can expect to experience
-
A safe, confidential space to explore your feelings and concerns.
-
Be listened to by a trained counsellor who will offer focus, challenge and clarity.
-
Be challenged about some of the unhelpful feelings and behaviours that may be hindering your growth.
-
Encouragement to make positive choices for yourself.
Therapy can be difficult painful work and I would encourage you to stick with it, hopefully seeing yourself change and move forward means that you will want to come.
I encourage an initial telephone conversation before booking
In addition, I offer single session counselling. This is 1hr15mins one off session where you may be looking for a safe space to debrief.
