Sidonia Stiles
Email meAbout me
My name is Sidonia Stiles and I am a trained Counselling Therapist with 5 years of experience and 12 year trained. As a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), I work within the BACP Ethical Framework of Data Protection and Confidentiality. I bring knowledge from both Person-Centred and Psychodynamic Therapy models. I help people see their pattern of thinking in a caring and nurturing way that helps them develop their skills in understanding their capabilities and strengths. I am trained with specific clinical tools that help people see the why’s and how’s of conditions and situations.
I work with Anxiety, Depression, Panic Attacks, Personality Disorder and PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder) and Family / Relationships. I work transparently and professionally with clinical tools to help my clients see and understand clearly what's happening in sessions. I do this with a contract of confidentiality and an understanding of Counselling.
I am passionate about the well-being of others and have spent most of my life learning about the way we think and the why’s and how’s of life. I use tools that change our perceptions of our own thinking broadening the ways our cognitions relate to our subconscious allowing for further meanings and understandings of the condition or situations we live with.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am working towards becoming an accredited Counsellor with the BACP and have a HND Diploma (2006) in Person Centred counselling as well as a LeveL 5 Diploma in Relationship therapy (2019) with CPCAB ( Counselling & Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body).
I have 5 year training and 12 year of experience of work with the above conditions but most recently gained a further level 5 Diploma with Relate National, specialising in Relationship therapy.
I have also worked with in a secure unit for young people (9-21) with challenging behaviour as a Group worker for 10 years.
