Jacqueline Hames

We all experience difficulties in our lives which challenge us, affect our wellbeing, our ability to function everyday, and our relationships - professional and personal.

As a qualified Humanistic Practitioner my aim is to provide the time and space for you explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe, supportive and confidential environment, at a pace that suits you. 

I draw upon Person Centred, Gestalt, and Transactional Analysis therapeutic models, which provide a toolbox of skills to adapt to your individual needs.  I adhere to the BACP Ethical framework for good practice.

Qualifications

BSc(Hons) Humanistic Counselling (Middlesex University)

Diploma in Humanistic Counselling (Metanoia Institute)

Practitioners Certificate in Creative Writing for Therapeutic Purposes (Metanoia Institute)

My in person clinic is based in Guildford and Farnham, where I can provide a secure, comfortable, confidential space, (COVID-19 compliant). If we decide to work together, we will agree a regular day and time for 50 minute sessions on a weekly basis.

I also offer online Counselling via Zoom which can be more flexible if this location is not convenient. 

Initially, I would recommend 4-6 sessions, thereafter discussing and agreeing a plan together tailored to your needs.

If you have a particular interest in using Creative Writing for Therapeutic Purposes (CWTP), please let me know at the time of your initial enquiry, and I would be happy to discuss this aspect further. 

At the first session we meet to discuss what brings you to Counselling and explore whether and how we can work together. 

I will provide full details of my policies around Confidentiality, ethical responsibility, Insurance, GPDR, cancellation, fees, payments, scheduling, and answer any questions or concerns you may have.
