Billie-Jude Thorpe

I am an Integrative counsellor,  I work with individuals in Frome helping people address a wide range of personal issues. I have a deep interest in people and am committed to working with integrity, equality and honesty. 

The counselling process allows you to chose 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 building an understanding and care for yourself your perspectives will broaden, loosening the dynamics of any self-limiting beliefs or narratives to create room and energy for more authentic, meaningful ways of being.
