Wendy Neil - Registered MBACP, Dip.Couns.

About me

I offer humanistic counselling, based firmly on respect for your individuality of character, experience and perspective.  My aim is to help you feel valued and accepted, heard and understood; to gain clarity and self-awareness; and ultimately to tune into your internal guide and make your own choices.

My core training is in Person-Centered counselling, which means I treat each person as a unique individual with their own values and beliefs.  I aim to understand you on your terms and give you time and space to express your thoughts and feelings freely.  

I use my training and experience to share observations, insights and ideas with you, but my approach is non-directive as I strongly believe that each of us has the inner resources to make the right decisions for ourselves. My approach is one of collaboration, I aim to help and support you in untangling and clarifying your concerns, improving your self-awareness and in working through changes you may wish make in yourself or in your life. So I won't try to tell you what to do, rather I will support you in finding your own answers.

I don't set an agenda for sessions - it's up to you to decide what to focus on and to work through things at your own pace. Likewise I don't offer a set number of sessions, as we are all individuals and have different needs at different times.

I am a warm, empathic and compassionate person and do my best to help each person I work with.  Please feel free to get in touch if you would like any further information.
