About me

CHERISHED VOICES COUNSELLING SERVICES

We care - You matter and your voice will be heard.

WHAT TO EXPECT-

As a client, you can expect to have support through the counselling process that will ensure you are able to get the help you need and the support to find a solution that works well for you.

People may have heard of counselling, but don't actually know what it is. Counselling is a talking therapy delivered from trained counsellors who work with different clients over a short to long term period of time. To help the client bring about an effective change/solution that will help them in the situations they are facing. Counsellors do not provide advice to their clients, but a safe, confidential, private and undisturbed environment, for the client to come and be able to share what they are facing and in need a solution they feel they will benefit from.

IN THE CONSULTATION CALL-

We will have a one to one talk to discuss various things that will help me best support you, days you want counselling, how long for, fees and so that you will have the information you need and assurance of what to expect before we start our sessions together. (There is a fee attached to ensure time and commitment is at the forefront to get the support needed).

ABOUT CHERISHED VOICES COUNSELLING-

Cherished Voices Counselling Services - Covers a range of different areas one may face such as family issues, emotional abuse, depression and anxiety to name a few. It is for those who face dissatisfaction with life in general and need that balance in life to be able to cope. Offering integrative counselling with person centred counselling as the core model approach.

When you opt for counselling, you can choose to use your time how you wish, to cry, sit in silence, talk about your life events whether from the past or present, your feelings, emotions and anything you think you need to talk about.

As mentioned before counselling is not giving the client advice, or persuaded action to do something, talking to a counsellor is not to be mistaken with talking to a friend, parent, partner etc. I will be impartial, professional, able to listen to you, in a non-judgmental way to work with your emotions and not get emotional themselves.

A chance to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and others in your life to help you find your own solutions. But make no demands on you, only the terms you both agreed in the therapeutic verbal contract at the beginning of the sessions, stating things such as what to expect from counselling, cancellations, lateness, confidentiality etc. Whatever you are going through in your life, always know that with counselling it is your safe haven to discuss everything and anything that you are going through at a pace you are comfortable with, without fear of judgement.

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.
