Juliette Hardy

The appointments I offer...
I offer counselling both In-person in my local community and remotely to reach different clients across the UK. 

I'm able to offer appointments most weekdays and until 8pm for two evenings per week. I do not currently offer weekend appointments. 

For those who wish to see me in person, I have a counselling room in Rugby, Warwickshire. I also offer remote appointments which can be offered either by telephone or online (via Zoom).

All appointments are 60 minutes in duration. 

Please visit my website for further information about my appointments.

For over 10 years, I have been counselling clients impacted by different losses, life changes, relationships, work related stresses, health issues and other situations that many life events can bring.
I also have over 9 years experience in counselling adults impacted by cancer.

I recognise life brings many challenges, and we all experience times of difficulty in our lives. Life events happen, losing loved ones, challenges in our workplaces or losing jobs, changes to our family, breakdowns of our relationships, financial changes, challenges to our health… the list is endless.

The impact of these situations can create a loss of self-worth, direction or even purpose. I help clients work through and make sense of these experiences and help move them towards a better understanding of themselves.

My counselling approach...
My approach to therapy is a Person-Centred one which focuses on empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard. This non-judgemental approach provides emotional support and recognises everyone has a built-in motivation to reach for their full potential, but sometimes they need a bit of support to get there! 

My counselling practice...
I am a qualified counsellor and have supported different people from different backgrounds with a range of diverse problems for over 10 years. 

I am a registered member of the BACP, I have regular development, training and supervision to keep me up-to-date with best practices. I hold an enhanced DBS and have public liability and professional indemnity insurance in place. I'm also registered with the Information Commissioners' Office (ICO).

So who am I?...
Hello, I'm Juliette. I like all things sweet, retail therapy, travelling and swimming. I love nature, pottering around my garden, walking and being outside. 

I can be a bit of a sweary Mary (expressive, not offensive), I love music, concerts and festivals. I love to laugh and have fun!

I love catching up with my friends and family. I love binge watching anything on Netflix.

My profession before counselling...
I have always worked with people and prior to becoming a counsellor, I worked as a HR professional for a large manufacturing company. It took me nearly 13 years to realise a unionised and controlled environment was not for me. Rules, policies, procedures and conformity was becoming my norm but it didn’t feel right.

I recognised my profession was no longer suiting me, it was not giving me the purpose, meaning or work life balance I wanted, so I decided to start a new chapter in working with people, but in a different way...

A life event challenged my life perspective, I decided to leave behind the world of business and started my counselling career and progressed from a introductory basic evening course to obtaining a first-class Bachelor of Arts in counselling.

My counselling experience...
I have supported clients who have struggled with many presenting issues. Please visit the What I can help with section of this page.

In addition to my private practice...
I'm also an Associate Counsellor for an Employee Assistance program and a Counsellor for a local charity.

My additional experience...
I also provide a counselling service for a local charity in my community to help adults whose lives have been devastated by cancer and the ripple effect a health diagnosis has on someone's life.

I have helped cancer patients and their partners or relatives, work through issues of cancer treatment, chronic fatigue, trauma, loss, body image, worry, anxiety, low moods, depression and fears of the future.

My remote counselling experience ...
I have worked as an online Betterhelp counsellor using video counselling and instant messaging support. My remote work has given me experience of counselling clients all across the UK covering a range of life events and diverse issues. 

All my past and current clients have an age range of 18-85.

Please visit my website for further information about my counselling experience.

How it all begins...
The first step after you have made contact with me (whether by phone or email) is to understand what is bringing you to therapy.  If you have never had therapy before or unsure what to expect, I offer a free 20 minute telephone consultation which allows you to raise any questions or concerns you may have. Please be rest assured that each telephone call is conducted in strict confidence. 

If, through our communication, we decide we want to work together, I will book our first appointment.

Our first appointment...
I confirm our first appointment in writing (usually via email) and you will be asked to agree to my terms of counselling (my client agreement) which will include confidentiality, data protection, cancellation terms etc. Everything will be provided prior to your first appointment but please do ask if there is anything you are unsure of.

My session fees...
Fees vary depending on the delivery method. All sessions are one hour in duration.

In-person appointments are £60.00 per session and Telephone or Online appointments are £55.00 per session.

My payment methods...
I accept cash, bank transfers or can take card payments. I have an online booking system so payments can be made securely online too.

Please visit my website for further information about my practice and please do not hesitate to make contact me if you have any questions or unsure about anything with regards to having therapy with me.
