Charlie Norman

I curenntly have appointments available on Tuesday and Friday with timeslots for Morning, Afternon and Evening.

I understand that it can be a big step to look for counselling so thank you for looking at my page.

I am fully insured and qualified with a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling, and a BSc in Psychology from the University of East Anglia. I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I have always enjoyed supporting others in finding what they want to do in life and providing support in hard times. I take this as a very important responsibility and strive to provide the best support I can. I have also worked within hospital and social care settings for 10 years. This has given me a range of experience in supporting people with a wide number of issues in a range of different situations.

My goal is to provide you with a supportive space where you can explore anything that is going on for you with no worry that you are being judged or that you need to be anything but yourself.

I will do this by empathising with what you are feeling during our sessions, providing a non-judgmental atmosphere while being open and honest with you.

The goals of our work will be set by you, and I can support you in finding goals if you are not sure what you want out of our sessions. This could be anything from wanting to get over an abusive relationship, working with depression and anxiety to wanting to enjoy life again. The goals of our time together are set by you and can change depending on what you need.

How long we spend together will be up to you. We will have reviews during the process at which point we can discuss what is and is not working and what we want to do going forward.

The first session will be used as an exploration. In this session, you can share what you have been struggling with and what you are hoping to get from counselling. I will explain how I work and talk through the counselling agreement and answer any questions you might have. If we are both happy working together, we can arrange a timeslot that works best going forward.
