Greta Pattison MBACP (Snr.Accred) Dip
About me
I have a wealth of diverse experience working as a therapist spanning over 25 years, and have been working as a senior therapist for over 10 years. I offer counselling, psychotherapy and clinical supervision. My counselling experience includes work in NHS, Lifelink and private practice. My clients tell me that I have a genuine, warm, kind, compassionate, non-judgemental, highly supportive and honest manner. Most of all, I love to support people to develop their optimum mental health and heal into well-being.
To make an appointment, and or to have an initial discussion, call or email me. Sessions will be tailored to your pace, and at the end of your first session you are given the option to book another session, or to leave it open for you to reflect on what you want to do next, For example, some of my clients attend weekly, some fortnightly, some monthly, and some come for occasional top up sessions if they feel that they need this. If you want any more information I will be happy to answer any questions.
