Billie-Jude Thorpe

I am working exclusively online at present. See below. 

I am an integrative counsellor,  I work with individuals helping people to address a wide range of personal issues. I am committed to working with integrity, honesty and equality. 

The counselling process allows you to choose between working short term on a particular issue, or over a longer period, providing the opportunity to explore deeper aspects present in your life. We will work collaboratively, understanding what is being brought to the room and making sense of it together in an environment of safety and respect. In our work together you are encouraged to develop a self awareness and a capacity for a fuller sense of you. This will improve your relationship/connection to self and with significant others. By deepening your understanding and care for yourself your perspectives can broaden, loosening the bolts on personal narratives or beliefs and creating room and opportunities for a different experience.

I am currently working online using Zoom or telephone counselling only. Sadly I have suspended all face to face work for the time being.
