Nick Brownjohn Counselling (MNCS Accred)
About me
Choosing a counsellor who is the right fit for you can be difficult, especially if you don’t know where to start or what to look for. With this in mind, I really hope that this list of what I can offer will help you with your decision making:
- Warmth, acceptance and approachability
- No judgement, criticism or telling you what to do
- Space for you to be heard and to explore what you want
I am an Integrative counsellor, which means I use a blend of different ways to help you work towards your aims. I also offer the opportunity for you to meet with me for a free 20 minute initial consultation via Zoom, during which you can ask questions and decide if I’m the right counsellor for you.
No matter what you are going through, no difficulty is too small or too big to bring to counselling sessions with me. I am here to listen to you, to accept you, to help you see more clearly and to help you move forward.
If you have any questions about how I can help you, please get in touch.
Sometimes people like to know a little a bit about their counsellor, to help them feel more of a connection. So, this is me!
I’ve worked with people all my life in a variety of different roles, and making a difference to people’s lives is what gets me out of bed in the morning. My experience of working with both adults and young people throughout my career helps me to develop strong working relationships with people and be empathic.
Outside of work, I love the coast, nature and animals, I have two very spoilt, much loved cats. Long walks and bike riding both help me to keep fit and to de-stress.
