Bernadette Bevan

My working days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday day and evenings. I may be available at other times, if they are suitable to both of us. 

If you have any questions you can email me at anytime and I will get back to you ASAP (usually within 48 hrs).

If you have any questions, please let me know and we can arrange a time to chat so that I can answer them and we can talk about how we will work together if this is something that you want to do. 

Due to changes to my working environment, I am currently (at least for the next 2-3 months) taking on new clients online by video link only. 

I provide a safe and confidential space with trust and empathy at its heart; a safe confidential space for you to talk. 

I offer person centred therapy, which means that I will listen to you and together we can explore your thoughts and feelings to enable you to process your concerns at your own pace. 

This is your time, if you would like to, we can use strategies including relaxation, visualisation and breathing techniques to support you to manage anxiety.

I’m a registered Qualified Therapist who has a BSC in Psychology.

I have experience in social care, teaching, coaching and mentoring, employment and careers advice.

I have also worked as a Counsellor in schools and as a bereavement volunteer for Cruse Bereavement Services.

I work face to face, online, 1 to 1 and with groups.

Due to changes to my working environment, I am currently (at least for the next 2-3 months) taking on new clients online by video link only. 

I support people at time of change, identifying barriers, finding ways to work through challenges and to understand behaviours and process difficult emotions and feelings.

Questions?

That’s perfectly natural. 

The relationship that you build with the Counsellor you decide to work with needs to be built on trust. 

I may ask questions to ensure I understand your perspective on the issues that you bring, but we will only ever work with your agenda and at your pace.

If you are considering counselling with me, just let me know and we can arrange a time for a chat to answer any questions. And then, if this is still something that you would like to do, we can talk further about how and when we will work together.

 Due to changes to my working environment, I am currently (at least for the next 2-3 months) taking on new clients online by video link only. 

Our initial 15 minute telephone consultation is free.

We’ll talk through any concerns and I’ll answer any questions that you have related to counselling or my practice.

Then, if we decide that we do want to work together, we’ll plan how and when that will take place either face to face or online through zoom.
