Rebecca Davies

I see clients on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. First appointments start at 9:30am and last appointments end by 7pm.

I am happy to work flexibly, if you have difficulty with a regular weekly time slot. We can discuss your needs and form an agreement that works for us both. 

If you wish to work for a longer term we can work fortnightly or monthly, if this suits your needs better.

Sometimes a lot can be achieved in one or two sessions, it really depends on what you are hoping to achieve.

Working through your stuff can be difficult. Working through your stuff with a professional could be much easier and even enjoyable.

When you work with me you decide what stuff you want to bring, you are in control of the session content. 

I know that working through old events and traumas, the places where current difficulties and behaviours began, can be the very best way to lay those things to rest. I also know that doing that can be difficult and that it is not entirely necessary. A lot can be achieved by working with the here and now or whatever stuff you choose to bring. 

I am committed to working professionally at all times. I provide you with a written copy of our counselling agreement so you begin the work with a clear understanding of what we are committing to.

I encourage you to define your goals, if at all possible, so we know what we are working towards.

Then, I am guided by you, I will never push you, I will never seek to make you uncomfortable. I will be a solid, stable and reliable presence to keep you company in your sessions. 

I will use my training, my knowledge and my insight to support you in whatever way I can.

I have worked successfully with a broad range of people with a huge range of experiences. The person centred relationship that I offer is healing for all wounds from attachment to addiction or anxiety to depression and any other thing that you might bring. 

If you are uncomfortable and would like to stop feeling that way I just might be able to help you with that. 

I work face to face and also online.

Telephone on a dedicated line at no charge to you.

All modes of remote therapy can be very effective. It's important to have whatever suits you best.

I never make recordings of our sessions.

I adhere to the BACP ethical framework and observe all ICO requirements for data protection.

Appointments can be made on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday between the hours of 9:00am and 7:00pm.

First sessions are a mixture of defining our business relationship, getting to know each other and beginning our work together. 

Most sessions begin with us meeting through our chosen method, online or face to face. We will probably spend a couple of minutes settling in and then I will introduce our contract. I will most likely have already shared a copy of this with you. This is your opportunity to ask any questions and for us to make any adjustments, perhaps you work shifts and we hash out an agreement to work flexibly. 

When we have worked through the contract I will introduce my data protection document which clarifies how I store your data eg your personal details and your rights regarding any data I hold about you. 

I then obtain your understanding and consent.

These documents might take 10 minutes or so, it's a fluid process and the time taken depends on how much we have to discuss.

The time spent looking at the paperwork is also a chance for us to get to know each other a little. Time to take a breath and settle into the room or the Zoom and become a little more comfortable with each other.

Next I pass the session over to you. 

You can tell me what has brought you to counselling. 

You might be overflowing with things to say. 

You might not be sure where to start or what to say and that is ok. We can navigate that together.

As we come toward the end of the session I will alert you that we have just a few minutes left and I will take the opportunity to ask you how you have found this initial session. 

I generally confirm our next appointment at the end of each session. 

I work exclusively Online

Appointments can be made on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday between the hours of 9:30 and 6pm.

My supervision practice is firmly planted in my person centred roots. I think supervision is a gift. The benefits of this time for exploration of our work can not be over estimated. As all supervisors do, I offer a safe and reflective space in which to explore your work. I think a good relationship is core to good supervision and I hope we can build a strong working relationship with as much equality as is possible, given the inherent power imbalance in the supervisory setting. I know from my own supervision experiences that the things I least want to take to supervision are often the things I should take. If I need to work through something, I need to know I will not be judged or simply pacified. I want to work the issue through for my own best practice even if it appears trivial to my supervisor. With this is mind I like to create a feeling of space in your supervision, space for you and your thoughts so you can develop your practice not just offload your clients.

I also understand that supervision is a process which occurs over time. I need time to get to know you and at first you might want me to help you shape your supervision. In time I hope you will find freedom and autonomy in your supervision sessions and I encourage you to shape your supervision in the way that suits you. This very small amount of time a month can be a joy, a dynamic process and a chance to reset and restore.

My qualification allows me to work face to face or online I have chosen to work exclusively online using a range of ways to connect (see below).  I find all of these modes of delivery to be very effective and am happy to explore with you which method may suit you best.

I work to the BACP ethical code and I am keen to keep the client at the heart of our work. I hope you will find supervision with me to be engaging and supportive.
