Jack Parnell-Driver

• I tend to work Tuesday daytime and some weekday evenings. 
• Please get in touch is discuss availability. 
• I  work online or over the phone.
  

I have experience working in the charity sector for over 10 years and more recently have been working for the NHS. I currently work for a local hospice providing bereavement counselling and emotional support for patients and family members experiencing anticipatory grief/loss. Alongside having a small private practice where I see clients online or over the phone. 

I have a postgraduate diploma (PGDip) in Humanistic Psychotherapeutic Counselling and a degree (BSc) in Psychology and Counselling. I'm a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). 

Starting counselling/therapy can be a daunting prospect, but I believe you have already started the journey by looking here. It's important for you to find the right person to be your counsellor/therapist - which is why I offer a free 30-minute session for us meet without any expectation for commitment. Before deciding whether to book an introductory session, here is a little overview about me and my approach:

I'm a BACP registered psychotherapeutic counsellor who works online or by telephone and can offer support short term or long term. I will be led by you and meet you where you're at. Together, we can create a safe and supportive space for us to explore what is going on for you and for you to be heard and understood.

I draw on the humanistic approach and aim to focus on understanding your unique perspective and experiences. We can decide together what you’re working on; but typically, we may touch on finding your strengths, exploring self-development, and ways you can grow and feel better about yourself and your situation.

• When you get in contact, I will ask you for a brief description of why you are looking for support. 
• We can then schedule a free 30 minute introductory session.
• The intro session will be a chance for us to meet and talk further about why your looking for support. It will also allow us to decide whether we are the right match and if we want to proceed with sessions. 
  

I can offer sessions in the daytime, evenings & saturday mornings.

I mainly work online, however face-to-face sessions may also be possible depending on your location. I can share specific dates/times when you reachout.

I'm Jack, a BACP registered psychotherapeutic counsellor. My training and approach draws on the values and concepts within the humanistic paradigm.

The humanistic approach places us alongside eachother on a journey together and I will be led by you to create a safe and supportive space. We can generally focus on understanding your unique perspective and experiences. I also like to consider how we can accept responsibilities and explore your choices (or lack of choice).

We can decide together what we’re working on; typically, we may touch on finding your strength, self-development, and ways you can grow and feel better about yourself and your situation.

We can schedule a free 30 minute introductory session where we will have a chance for us to meeting and decide whether we want to proceed. The intro session may include getting to hear what your looking for in a counsellor and what areas you'd like to work on.
