Pam Hall

Are you feeling anxious, depressed or hopeless? Do you "just know" life could be better? 

If you've been wondering why life isn't quite the way you'd like it to be, then talking to a counsellor can be a really helpful way to bring about change in your life.

I offer you the chance to talk freely, to help you make sense of why you feel the way you do. This can be the first step towards making the changes you want. 

My aim is to help you feel at ease so that you can start to make positive changes through greater self understanding and self belief.

I invite you to get in touch with me for an initial chat. Counselling is a confidential and non judgemental approach to help you work out what would make life feel better for you.  

I work from home in a quiet and private room which overlooks my garden.

(At the current time we can speak on the 'phone or use zoom to 'see' each other).

Once you have taken that first step and got in touch with me, we can decide if we would like to have an initial session to explore how we can work together. 

I will ask you some questions to try and understand what help you are looking for. I will also invite you to ask me any questions you feel might be helpful to you.

We can talk about whether you would like to have a set number of sessions which are focussed on a specific issue or event (sometimes called brief therapy), or if you prefer, we can agree to work in a more open ended way, with regular reviews. This gives you the chance to reflect on whether you wish to continue or come to an end with your therapy.

I will also go through a working agreement with you which includes such things as confidentiality, Data Protection, appointment times and cancellations and I will answer any questions you may have.

I offer this initial session for half the hourly fee. The full fee will then apply to future sessions if you decide to go ahead with therapy. 

Are you looking for a Supervisor? If so, I would be happy to have a chat with you about your requirements before arranging to meet - I am only working remotely for the time being due to covid-19, so we can use the 'phone or 'meet' online.

Our Supervision is an essential part of our work as therapists. I strive to support you to be the best you can be with your clients. I offer a supportive and collaborative style of Supervision. 

I'm as curious about the things that go well in your work as I am about the dilemmas and difficulties which can occur. I work in a way which includes interest in your personal development and your self care.

This is because I believe that Supervision needs to be a positive part of our work and not just a focus on how we can do better

I have been a Supervisor since 2007 and I believe we never stop learning!

My private practice is based at home in Chesham.

My room is upstairs, it overlooks my garden and is peaceful and private.

If you would like to consider me becoming your Supervisor, I offer you an initial hour long session, for which there is no charge.

If we then decide to work together, we can agree a contract for Supervision to include the frequency and length of sessions. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my directory listing.
