Thank you

Hello and welcome. I'm Gill and I am an integrative, humanistic counsellor working with adults and young people. I offer long and short-term talking therapy within a warm, non-judgemental and empathic therapeutic relationship. Here, we may explore your past and current experiences to develop your self awareness and find a sense and develop your self-agency.

Together, we can consider relational and behavioural patterns, along with intrusive or unhelpful thoughts that impact your emotional well-being. The effects of these can be felt as anxiety, depression, panic, stress, self-esteem and relational difficulties to name just a few.

If you would like to consider counselling further, the next step would be to book an initial appointment to discuss how you

I work face to face, home visits and online using Zoom.

This first step you have taken can be the hardest to take, particularly if it is into the unfamiliar. It is especially difficult to do so when we are feeling overwhelmed or unable to understand the impact of our current thoughts and emotions. I would like to briefly explain a little about myself and how we may work together.

I have extensive experience as a counsellor both in an agency setting and within my private practice. I place huge importance on building a warm, trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship.

My approach is integrative, allowing me to apply a range of techniques and psychological approaches to create a service tailored to your needs, expectations and goals. My preferred approaches are Person Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, these can be combined or adopted as a single model. I deliver Guided Imagery to enhance relaxation and Rewind techniques which explore phobias and trauma. 

Our initial contract will typically be for six, 55 minute sessions. Following this, we will review our working for you to consider the next steps for your therapy.

Our sessions could be held virtually using Zoom, I can also attend visits to your home and we can also hold sessions within the open environment.

To assist you with your consideration of how therapy would best you, the next step would be for us to book an initial appointment. Here, we could discuss how you would like to use your therapy and how we may work together.

I offer a 30 minute free of charge initial session. we may meet within your home, via a Zoom meeting or telephone.

It is really important that you get a sense that you will be comfortable within our working, and this session will enable us to get to know one another a little better.

If you decide to move forward with your therapy, we can agree a day and time for your sessions and collaboratively discuss our working agreement.
