Collette Carnegie-Alleyne

I am available Monday and Friday evenings from 6pm

Wednesdays from 10am until 4pm

Occasional Saturdays mornings 

I am a qualified BSc Honours Integrative Counsellor, with over 20 years experience in Social Care.  I am a qualified Domestic Abuse adviser and have working and personal experience of working with abuse, depression, self-esteem, grief, loss, identity and cultural issues and addiction.  I also have experience as a group facilitator for peer support groups.

I have an emphatic approach to my clients giving them the space to explore their thoughts and feelings in a compassionate, safe and non judgemental way.  I want to embark on the journey of exploration with my client, so that they can safely become self aware and be contained whilst doing so, thus building an therapeutic alliance with each other.

I currently provide online and telephone counselling; both short term (up to 8 sessions) and long term (10+ sessions).  Due to COVID-19 I am not providing face to face sessions but this will be reviewed in the near future.

I will utilise different modalities to suit my clients as no two clients are the same and to make their experience unique/bestoke to them.

I do accept clients who are unemployed and the cost will be negotiable.

The cost for students is £35.00 per session

Couples Counselling is £70.00 for an 90 minutes

The consultation cost is £30.00 for 45 minutes

My initial session would be a 45 minute consultation, where the potential client and I would ascertain some basic details; what the client would like from the therapy; what has brought them to therapy and the possible number of sessions the client feels they may need.
