Tess Wall

Due to the recent increase in Covid 19 cases and concerns over the new variant,  I have taken the difficult decision to withdraw from all face-to- face client contact. I am also unable to support any new clients. I am continually reviewing the situation and will endeavour to go back to the usual working practices as soon as it feels safe to do so. 

About me

Hello, my name is Tess and I am an accredited member of the BACP.   I have over 35 years experience working in the NHS and for the last 15 years I have been based in a busy psychology department of a large Mental Health Trust, where I  provide counselling and psychotherapy to help and support individuals with a wide variety of  issues.  

I have recently  developed Meraki counselling service, this is  a bespoke space, created to provide a safe, reflective place for people to explore their lives and difficulties and begin the journey towards making change.  People come to therapy for many different reasons; managing recent life events, fluctuating emotional states or recognising the impact of past traumas on current experiences and relationships. I use both counselling and creativity to help people explore those issues and to encourage a sense of inner resilience and strength, the foundations for strong, sustainable change.  

Experience 

I began my counselling training at Warwick University and qualified as a person centred counsellor in 2008.  Since then I have attained further diplomas,  with the specific aim of improving and broadening my practice.   Through my role in Psychological Services I have worked with and supported  people experiencing acute anxiety, depression, stress, anger issues, trauma and self-harm.  I have also gained experience of supporting  people who have experienced bereavement, sexual trauma,  domestic abuse and loss through a number of voluntary roles that I have worked in over the years.
