About us
We are an independent family run Counselling Practice providing talking therapy online or via telephone. Please visit our website at www.wilmingtoncounselling.co.uk.
Primarily with bases in Hemel Hempstead and Hull, we also have connections to Devon, the North-West, Yorkshire, Hertfordshire, West Midlands, Wales, Durham and the North-East. Our remote and online service means that we can provide services to all and any areas of the UK.
We approach this process as a psychological exercise, similar in essence to the process of any physical therapy, in terms of finding healthy ways towards growth.

Member organisations *
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.

Further information
What is Counselling?
Counselling is a talking therapy, which takes place in a safe and confidential space. It provides an environment from which self-analysis and reflection can be used to consider your world and yourself within that world. Dialogue around things in your life that may be causing challenges or difficulties, can help towards awareness, perspective and understanding of these challenges, and offer growth beyond difficulties.
How often should I have sessions?
Generally sessions would be weekly, but they can also be fortnightly and perhaps other frequencies. We adopt a flexible approach to suit your circumstances.
How many sessions should I have?
This is entirely up to you. There is no obligation for a set number of sessions. Some people have 6 sessions, whilst others have 12 and sometimes more. This is entirely up to you, and how you feel within the process. These sessions are yours and the decision is yours.
How does the payment process work?
Payment is via Bank transfer. Further details will be provided as and when required.
Do I have to pay for my initial telephone call?
Your initial call is free, and there is no obligation. What’s important is that we start to build a connection, start getting to know each other, speak about what brings you to Counselling, and answer any questions you may have.
I’m not used to speaking about things that are troubling me, how will I be able to do that in Counselling?
It’s about building a connection in an environment where you feel safe. We start with a conversation, and continue that conversation. You and your story are as important as anyone else’s, and Counselling offers someone to hear you, and someone to hear your story.
