Patricia Hibbert

I have appointments available on Mondays and Fridays.

Hi,my name is Trish and I am a qualified counsellor registered and accredited with the BACP. I have a private practice based in Chesterfield and provide Counselling to adults over 18 years of age in the North-East Derbyshire area.

I trained in Other-Centred approach and Buddhist Psychology and I also draw influences from Person-Centred and Humanistic approaches. I am accredited with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and abide by their ethical framework. As part of my training I have worked as a volunteer for SAIL (Sexual abuse and Incest Line) and the Ashgate Hospice patient and family support team, gaining experience in working with bereavement, sexual abuse and trauma.

I use an integrative approach and I will tailor sessions to the client’s individual needs, incorporating art and psychodrama if appropriate. 

My Ethos is that life can be challenging and confusing, especially in times of change or loss. I know that having a space to talk openly and frankly to someone who is independent and unbiased can help us make sense of it all.

I offer just such a place where you can explore your life, who you are, your environment and others around you. I will walk alongside offering my unconditional support, helping you through the difficult parts and giving you the opportunity to express how you feel.

Since the pandemic I had to quickly learn how to do video conference calls and my practice had switched to remote as opposed to face to face. As we can now go back to personal sessions some of my clients still prefer to conduct session remotely and that is fine. I am happy to accommodate either face to face or video/telephone counselling,  depending what is appropriate and the client prefers. 

I offer a free, no commitment, 20 minute introductory session for clients to get a feel for me and what I do. If they want to go onto  engage with therapy I will do a more in-depth assessment on the first session to get to know them better and check that therapy is appropriate for them.
