Jillian Dighton

I have an MA in Counselling & Psychotherapy Practice, a BSc (Hons) Degree in Integrative Counselling as well as the Higher Professional Diploma. I offer a professionally qualified, face to face, Psychotherapeutic Counselling service in a secure, confidential and non-judgemental atmosphere. I was trained and work in an Integrative and Relational way; this means I look at my clients needs and concerns then integrate theories, concepts and techniques in order to help the client in the best way possible. I also focus on how my clients relate to others and the world. After specialist training, I also see Couples for Couples or Relationship Counselling. I support a couple as they explore and try to understand the relationship issues or difficulties they are experiencing. Together, I help the couple find a solution that works for them both. In June 2016 I achieved the Certificate in Supervision from The Relational Academy in Cambridge qualifying me to Supervise the work of therapists. Each session lasts for 1 hour. I have full Professional Civil Liability Insurance and Home Business Insurance. I can offer sessions via 'Zoom' or by 'phone.

My Counselling practice is based on a quiet road and the room is in my garden. Clients park on my private drive and walk directly to the gate where they ring a bell for me to come to the gate. My room is a very short walk across a secluded patio and there are 2 steps up into the room. My room is private and peaceful and very comfortably furnished.

The first session with a client usually involves possibly 20 minutes or so where  undertake an assessment with regards to the clients personal details and health situation. I also aim to establish a contract with my client, be that for just 1 session or more. I also ask clients to read and sign my GDPR contract. I aim to begin working with the client within the first session.

I am currently offering 'Zoom' or 'phone Supervision.
