Denise Bradley

I am a Person Centred Counsellor with an understanding of other disciplines such as Transactional Analysis ( TA) Gestalt, Psychodynamic & CBT.

I have about twelve years experience as a counsellor in a variety of settings and have worked in related fields such as Youth & Community Work, Residential Social Work and the Police Force. I have experience of working with carers of people with mental illness as well as those who live and work in a military environment.

I will see trainee counsellors for £35 an hour and people in receipt of benefits at a reduced fee by prior arrangement. I am happy to confirm by email or letter to their college that trainee counsellors have attended counselling  for the required amount of sessions.

I work from home in my bungalow which is in a cul de sac in a village with parking in the driveway or in large turning point at end of drive. There is also a public car park with two hours free parking available in the village a couple of minutes walk away with cafes and shops where a partner, friend or relative can wait if necessary. 

I am happy to provide counselling either short term e.g. four to six sessions or long term e.g. twelve sessions or more. I am also willing to work with clients who just want to come for one session. As well as this I offer telephone counselling and Skype Counselling and Supervision. Payment is to be made in advance online by bank transfer for telephone Counselling or Skype Counselling and Supervision.

Debit card payment by Sum Up or cash for face to face Counselling sessions.

I trained on the Post Graduate Certificate of Person Centred Supervision Course with Temenos. The tutors were Mike Worrell & Keith Tudor, the course was held in London. I have several years experience of Person Centred Supervision as well as having supervised part time youth workers in my former role of Youth and Community Worker.

I have supervised both qualified and trainee counsellors and see trainees & newly qualified counsellors working towards BACP registration for a reduced rate for both supervision and therapy.

As a Youth and Community worker, I have been employed by a variety of services, both local authority and voluntary organisations. I am happy to complete supervision reports and any other course requirement when working with trainee counsellors.

As well as this I am available by email or phone between sessions if the trainee is particularly concerned about a client they are seeing at a placement while training or if they are new to private practice. I offer Skype Supervision or telephone supervision if unable to get to me because of weather conditions or in the present Corona virus situation if self isolating or in a case of lock down.
