Meredith El-Jawhari

I very much enjoy my work as a therapist. Being with clients as they change and progress through therapy, gaining confidence and clarity underlines the change that is possible when two people collaborate effectively. I aim to offer a calm, honest and non-judgemental space within which clients can feel safe enough to unpack what they feel might be holding them back.  I endeavour to be transparent about the whole process and will adapt and modify my way of working based on client need. I have experience in working with issues from mild anxiety all the way through to severe trauma. The first part of therapy is about setting goals and deciding how clients will know therapy is working. The middle part of therapy is looking more deeply at the issues clients are struggling with. The final part of therapy is about integrating all clients have leaned into new ways of thinking, feeling and behaving. 

I run a small independent private practice and work from my home. I offer telephone counselling and online counselling. 

In our first session together you will have time to talk about things that are troubling you and to set out what you want to achieve through counselling. This is a safe and confidential space for you to say everything that has been on your mind. 

I will be there to listen and to reflect on what you are saying to try to understand what your issues might be.  

I offer a calm, non-judgemental presence.

In this session we will also go through the contract which includes a section for counselling by telephone/online and my privacy statement. 

After this first session, if you feel I am a good fit for what you need we will book in a number of sessions.
