Meredith El-Jawhari

As a therapist, I hold the relationship that we develop in sessions to be especially important and vital to the success of the therapy. This is why I offer a free 30 minute consultation to ensure that we are a good fit.

I have been a practicing therapist for close to a decade. I have experience dealing with a range of issues from trauma to helping you attain greater levels of achievement and contentment in your life.

I aim to offer a calm, honest and non-judgemental space within which you will feel safe enough to unpack what you feel might be holding you back.  I endeavour to be transparent about the way I work and will adapt and modify my way of working based on your needs. I am a person centred / existential counsellor which means that I believe my role is to facilitate the your own healing and recovery process and I am skilled at considering the holistic needs of each client.

I use CORE measures of assessment to set goals at the start of therapy, to track the progress of therapy and to give a numerical underpinning to the success of the work as it comes to an end. I encourage feedback at every stage of therapy.

I run a small independent private practice and work from my home. I offer a free 30 minute consultation for clients wishing to know more about therapy and about the way I work. 

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  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. 

I do use CORE measures of assessment at each stage of the process.
