Vivienne Charnley

Due to the current situation with Covid 19, I am currently only offering telephone sessions.  My availability is flexible. Please don’t hesitate to call. 

I am a compassionate, qualified and experienced counsellor. I am also a trained, currently non-practising midwife.  I work from home in Great Sutton or will travel to meet clients in their own home. With more than twenty five years experience,  my knowledge and skills have developed working in the NHS, private practice and across a variety of settings.  I am passionate about counselling and I am privileged to have supported many clients through some very difficult and often complex life events. 

I have an eclectic approach and I am trained in and work as an integrative counsellor. Individualised holistic care is at the core of my practice. I have a calm, relaxed, flexible and open style of working. As a practitioner I am empathic, warm and non judgmental. I genuinely believe in people and their capacity to heal and address difficulties effectively. I have witnessed many individuals who, with counselling support and through their own endeavours, belief and commitment have made incredible, life affirming changes.

I encourage prospective clients to contact me either by phone or email in the first instance. We then arrange an initial consultation. Seeking counselling can be daunting for some and it is important to feel that you are safe, in control and comfortable. This consultation gives us a chance to get a sense of each other and to see if we feel we could work well together. By the end of this first session you will hopefully feel there is focus on the outcomes you want and a sense that I am able to help you achieve them.
