I offer a safe and confidential space where you can explore your issues

… for individuals, couples and families in the Cheltenham area

Do you need someone to talk to?

The chances are if you are reading this you have reached a point in your life where things are getting on top of you.

People seek counselling for all sorts of reasons. Perhaps you are having problems in your relationship and looking for someone to help. It’s possible that you are feeling anxious, sad, depressed, lack confidence and / or have issues with self-esteem. Or perhaps you’ve suffered a trauma, and are finding it hard to deal with. You might just be wondering what makes you tick and what makes you who you are.

Here are some of the specific issues that bring people to counselling:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Bereavement and loss
• Stress at work
• Issues around bullying
• Relationship problems
• Panic attacks
• Anger
• Sexuality
• Adoption / Identity
• Suicidal feelings
• Feelings of emptiness
• Self-esteem and confidence issues
• Trauma

We are all different, with our unique personalities, life stories and concerns. In a nutshell, counselling is for anyone who wants to talk things through and who wishes to feel differently about himself/herself.

What to expect

Counselling offers an opportunity to meet regularly with an experienced counsellor to talk through the issues that may be upsetting you. The space is quiet and private. You will be met with empathy and understanding, and listened to in a non judgmental way.

The counselling I provide is based on listening, reflecting, and making links between past and present in the belief that by looking at our past experiences we can better understand why we behave as we do in the present. It is hoped that this quiet, supportive, safe space can help you think about your life, about who you are, to grieve, to heal, to see things from a different perspective, and to enable change.

I offer open-ended counselling for individuals, couples and adolescents, as well as time-limited counselling, where the amount of sessions is agreed at the beginning.

Sessions last 50 minutes and are weekly.

Is it confidential?

Yes, my service is completely confidential. It is important that you feel free and able to talk about your issues. I adhere to the BACP Framework of Ethics.

Supervision

I am a qualified supervisor (Cert - Robin Shohet) and am available as a supervisor in psychodynamic counselling.

I currently supervise groups at Gloucestershire Counselling Service, and also one to one in my private practice.

The fees for counselling are subject to yearly review.

Currently the fees are:

Individual counselling: £50 per session

Couples counselling: £70 per session

Supervision: £40 in training /  £50 private practice

Fees can be negotiated under exceptional circumstances

Invoices will be produced at the end of every month, via online banking. Whilst every effort is made to rearrange appointments in the event of a client’s ill-health or unforeseen circumstance, this is not always possible. All missed appointments are payable at the usual fee.
