Jillian Dighton

I see clients here at my practice, in person.

I also work with clients across Zoom and occasionally by telephone conversation. 

I have an MA in Counselling & Psychotherapy Practice, a BSc (Hons) Degree in Integrative Counselling as well as the Higher Professional Diploma. 

I also have a Diploma in Supervision of Individuals & Groups (Level 7 Distinction) and work with therapists, trainees, and specialist groups. 

I offer a professionally qualified, face to face, Integrative 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.  

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 if preferred.

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  I 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 that first session, so charge my standard fee.

I also hold a Certificate in Supervision. (The Relational Academy, Cambridge.) 

The main basis of my work with Supervisee's is Person Centred, Integrative and Relational.

I see individuals and groups here at my practice, or via Zoom.

I also see various specialist groups for individual or group Supervision sessions. Please ask for further details.

I am happy for prospective supervisee's to phone me for a discussion, prior to making their decision if I am the right supervisor for them. Email is also acceptable.

I will discuss and hear the supervisee's needs for supervision and if appropriate, will talk the supervisee through my contract and GDPR forms.
