Jadwiga Heys

I have availability within my practice and can usually offer you a session within a week or 2 of contact.

I work Monday to Thursday, between 10.30am and 5.00pm (start of last session).

I am a qualified Person Centred counsellor. I qualified with a 2.1 BA Hons in 2017. I continue my professional development with yearly Continual Personal Development courses.

I offer face to face sessions, lasting 50 minutes, in my counselling room in my home, which is minutes away from J7 of the M4. I also offer remote sessions via Zoom and WhatsApp, both of which are encrypted to maintain confidentiality, a primary ethical priority.

i have regular supervision in order to offer you the best service tailored to you needs.

Sessions cost £55 and I do offer concessions to enable you fast, affordable access to counselling.

For best therapeutic effect, sessions are weekly, but some clients choose to come fortnightly or as they feel the need.

Please do visit my website for more FAQs.

I strive to provide a safe space, for you to talk without the fear of being judged about the issues that brought you to counselling. I strive to walk along side you by listening empathically, as together we deepen our understanding of you and the roots of your issues.

I see counselling as healing wounds which are causing you to have compulsions and automatic reactions which are hurting you, your life or the people you love or have relationships with. In our sessions we gently, at your pace and agenda, open up these wounds to clean them out and allow them to heal. You will then find compulsions lessening, solutions surfacing and you feeling that you are becoming more real and true to yourself.

In the first session I will take only that contact data from you which will allow me to offer and maintain a therapeutic relationship with you.

I will then talk you through our working agreement, so that you know what to expect from me and what I need from you.

The rest of the session is usually used by the client to tell me about the issues that have brought them to counselling. I do not diagnose or assess the client, rather it gives the client the opportunity to assess me and get a feel for how our work will look. If however I feel the issues the client has come with are beyond my competence, I will say so and offer a referral.
