About me
Worried , anxious , repeating the same mistakes and the same rows? Counselling will help you.
My name is Mireille Launay. I am an experienced Counsellor and I have supported both individuals and couples since 2003. I am an integrative counsellor and use Transactional Analysis and Imago Therapy as well as Gestalt Trauma and Person Centred Therapy .
Imago Therapy and Transactional Analysis are excellent ways to reestablish dialogue about any difficult issues you may experience.
Often in conflict we experience the other as a threat , the famous sabre tooth tiger . Imago dialogue and T.A. allow us to communicate safely . I will hold your process and guide you .
Individual Sessions will be one hour long and chargeable at £60 to £70 per session. The initial session will be one and a half hour long. The first half an hour is free of charge but the remaining hour will be £60 or £70 .
Generally 6 to 12 sessions are required to effect any change .
All couples sessions will last one and a half hours and will be chargeable at £80 per session . These will be fortnightly to give you time to mull over what we've explored.
About Me:
I offer a respectful, non judgmental service. I am caring, passionate about the process and enthusiastic.
What is Counselling:
Our issues often have their roots in the past and can affect our current relationships. By exploring past trauma, these can lose their effect over us. I use various approaches (TA, CBT, Person-Centred, Gestalt and Trauma Therapy and Imago Dialogue ). Generally a minimum of six sessions weekly or fortnightly are needed to effect any change.
For Couples , I use Imago therapy which is very effective to establish positive communication about very difficult issues .
Sessions will take place every 2 weeks . We can work Face to Face or on Zoom .
I have extensive experience of working with couples who have lived through the devastation of affairs , divorce , as well as feeling lonely in the relationship , unable to tell their partners what they are truly feeling . This in the long run erodes the relationship . Imago Dialogue and T.A. will allow you to repair and begin to be "each other 's healers " as Harville Hendrix and Helen Lakelly Hunt advocate . You will "keep the love you find".

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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
