About me
I work hard to build strong therapeutic relationships so that you can honestly address the issues that you are facing today. I have over 20 years' experience journeying with people from various backgrounds who face a wide range of issues including childhood trauma and suicidal ideation. Together we will build a relationship you can trust which will allow you to discover new perspectives, greater understanding and perhaps even new ways of being you.
Please visit my website: sallycraigpsychotherapy.com to find out more.
I became a qualified and experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor after addressing my own traumas and discovering for myself the power of a supportive, honest therapeutic relationship. The more people I have worked with since then, the more convinced I have become that exploring personal issues within a trusted relationship is extremely beneficial and can be transformative.
Whatever has happened to you and whatever issues you are facing, I am willing to work with you. However, if it is beneficial to refer you to a specialist, I will suggest this at our initial free consultation.
Once we have agreed to work together, we will meet weekly for six-week blocks, setting a rhythm to review and evaluate our work together, however long our journey.
Please make contact to access your initial free confidential consultation where we can assess our compatibility and clarify the boundaries of our work together.
I look forward to meeting you,
Sally
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a registered psychotherapeutic counsellor with United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). I have a Masters degree in Advanced Clinical Practice (Psychotherapy) from Middlesex University through The Minster Centre, and a Bachelors degree in Integrative Counselling from Middlesex University through Matrix College of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I have over 4,500 client hours’ experience counselling people from all walks of life, in prison and in the community, via charities and the private sector. My work has facilitated resolution of issues by building a relationship in which you learn to gradually let down your guard to consider your reality from new angles and take small steps in new directions.
During the pandemic I undertook the BACP-accredited 80-hour training by Counselling Tutor, to reflect on the new issues that arise with online work and to ensure my online work is ethical and secure. Get in touch for your free initial online consultation if you would like to work with me online.
I also enjoy working in person, so if you can access Woodmancote or central Cheltenham and want to work with me in the room, please get in touch to arrange your free initial online consultation, after which we will work in person.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Sally
