Mandy Randall-Gavin BA (Hons), Dip TA Practice, MBACP
Email meAbout me
Life can be a challenge in all sorts of areas of our lives and these challenges may occur at any time. Sometimes we just need that extra independent support to help us work through these challenges. I am a qualified counsellor in TA Practice, with more than 8 years' client experience. I work face-face and online with adults and couples over 18, relationally, in a safe, comfortable, and private space in which you can express/articulate how you think, feel and behave. We work together with what's in the room between us. No judgements. I may use Mindfulness to help ground you in the here and now - effective when you're feeling particularly anxious, or may be worried by factors outside your control. I may work creatively using sand tray and drawing where appropriate.
I offer short and long-term counselling.
I am situated 2 minutes walk from Goring-by-Sea Station platform. Should you come by car, there is off street parking available.
My working hours are:
Monday 08:00 - 21:00
Tuesday 08:00 - 18:00
Wednesday 08:00 - 21:00
The first session is complimentary and will help us to decide whether or not we can work with each other.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained for 4 years at the Link Centre and hold a Certificate in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy Training. I have a UKATA Diploma in TA Practice and am working towards my CTA exam to qualify as an MSc in Psychotherapy. I am a registered member of the BACP.
I have 8 years' experience of delivering Client Therapy, 6 of which have been, and still are, at St Barnabas Hospice delivering Loss and Bereavement Counselling.
I have more than 30 years' experience working full time in the Corporate World as a Learning and Development Consultant for blue chip companies and professional services firms.
My own learning is constant, whether through my work, on a course, attending a workshop, or simply living my life.
