Venetia Elphick

I have immediate slots available for new clients on the phone or online. 

The first session will be held at a 50% discounted rate with no obligation to continue with sessions. 

I have immediate phone and video openings via Zoom or Skype for clients who are distancing or quarantined and would be honoured to support you during this time of uncertainty as a result of Covid-19. 

I recognise that each person is unique and will tailor the sessions according to your individual needs. I provide a warm, safe, non-judgemental space where you can confidentiality voice your difficulties, worries and concerns.  

I believe that everybody has the innate ability to reach one's full potential and it is my aim to help you start this process through the counselling process. I will work collaboratively with you to safely explore your thoughts, fears and feelings, helping you to make sense of your past and present and facilitating positive change for the future.

I provide long-term and time-limited one-to-one therapy and have experience in working with people from a diverse range of backgrounds. I embrace clients from all communities, regardless of faith, race, class, culture, ability, gender, and sexual orientation.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I incorporate a person-centered and psychodynamic approach, drawing on all aspects of your being, including your mind, body, and spirit. I believe that we all have the ability to reach our full potential and it is my aim to help you start this process through the therapy sessions. 

I have a specialist interest in helping clients with addiction issues, including alcohol and drug addiction. I am also experienced in helping clients with issues of identity, including gender and sexuality

I am offering a 50% discount on your first session on the phone or via Zoom or Skype for clients who are distancing or quarantined (due to Covid-19) and would be honoured to support you during this time of uncertainty. 

Once you have contacted me, I will invite you to come for an initial introductory session, where you can tell me why you are looking for help and we can then think together about the most helpful way forward.

I can work with you for an agreed duration or on an open-ended basis.  There is no obligation for you to remain in counselling at any time if you decide you no longer wish to do so.
