Vivien Evans

I currently have availability on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in the daytime and early evening. I can be flexible with the arrangements for your sessions to suit your needs and availability.

I am a person centred Counsellor with over 5 years experience in client work. I am trained in the Person Centred approach, which means that I can offer counselling in any of life’s circumstances where you may need to think through and talk about your own experiences and issues. I currently work in NHS and Hospice settings, and I have experience in counselling clients in a wide variety of life situations and I have specialised in bereavement work, cancer care work and any situations where you may have experienced loss or disappointment in life. Loss and grief don’t always arise from bereavement. Feelings of loss can be present in any life circumstances, relationships, friendships, family groups, pregnancy or fertility issues, in the workplace and from within ourselves. I provide safe, individualised and caring counselling therapy and support for clients who have been affected by any of life’s changes, affected by bereavement or who are affected by a cancer diagnosis, or the diagnosis of a person close to themselves. I work in the Cheshire area and use a room which is carefully designed to provide the best environment for the client to feel comfortable and able to share in the sessions. I provide one to one sessions on a programme which is led by the client, using a private room, by telephone or by video, or a combination of all of these. 

You as the client can expect a caring, warm approach to talking through your issues and processes using a person centred model. I offer each client the opportunity to bring their stories to the sessions and to think and talk about how they are feeling and, using the person centred approach, each client can make choices or decisions which are right for them, given the right set of circumstances. You may want a limited number of sessions to work through your feelings or a longer term arrangement where you can take more time to work out what is best for you, and how you may feel about your life, your relationships, your work or any areas of your life which are causing you concern. 

In the first free 15 minute phone session, I will ask you to complete a short assessment about your current wellbeing and will talk through the contract which will be the basis of our work together. We will also talk about your reasons for coming to counselling, and anything that you might like to achieve with your sessions. The most important part of counselling is the therapeutic relationship between the counsellor and client, so this first short appointment will help us to find out how we can work together.
