Jacqui Cheetham

I offer flexibility and will try to find a suitable time for us to meet. I work mornings, afternoons and evenings until 7pm Monday to Friday. 

I am qualified as a humanistic and integrative counsellor. Talking through life's challenges and the unsettling emotions that accompany them with someone outside the situation can be really helpful. Through listening carefully and empathically to your difficulties, I aim to help you work through your concerns, supporting you as you think through how to journey onward. I aim to work at a pace that is comfortable for you. Everyone is unique and I have a variety of approaches and techniques at hand to empower you to more forward.  I have a relaxing and quiet practice room not far from the centre of Salisbury with parking available. If you prefer, we can also work online or on the telephone.

Society today can be fast-paced, loud and hectic and when difficulties arise it is important to give ourselves the time and space to deal with them.  It is often our emotions that communicate our distress to us.  Emotions can feel very uncomfortable.  Giving our emotions the space they need in the presence of another person can be very healing. 

I have a great deal of experience working with loss and grief.  I have worked for several years for the charity Cruse.  In addition, I am very interested in working with those who cannot have children, either because of their circumstances or for medical reasons. 

I am happy to have a short conversation on the phone or zoom, so that you can get to sense of what I am like and to discuss your reasons for wanting counselling.   It is also a opportunity to see if I am the best fit for you.  This is free.

During our first session together, I ask you a series of questions to get to know you and we will also discuss your goals for counselling.  I will take some notes.  This won't happen in subsequent sessions.  I will also bring a client agreement/ contract which outlines my way of working, some practical boundaries and how confidentiality works.
