About me and my therapy practice
My Name is Dianne Francis- Thomas. I am a trained and registered Counsellor and also a member of the BACP and can be found on the counselling directory. I work in an integrative way using a person centred approach helping people with anxiety, depression, low mood, low self esteem Panick attacks, family issues ,drugs and alcohol.
I am a trained and registered Counsellor. I am also a member of the BACP.I work in accordance with the Ethical Framework. I work as an integrative counsellor using strategies and also use a person- centred approach. On my first session, I normally do an assessment with the client which involves form filling. I work in collaboration with the client by going through a patient health questionnaire form PHQ9 form and also a Generalized Disorder form ( GAD 7) . We then go through the contract together then sign upon agreement. We also do a health record form and followed by an exploration phase where client discuss the reason for counselling.
Practice description
As a Counsellor, I offer zoom services, telephone consultation and also one to one(1:1)person centred.
I worked for the NHS for 18 years caring for clients over a wide cross section has been a pleasurable one for me. Thus gave me the opportunity to build relationships and confidence. Whilst working in a confidential environment, I was offering emotional support as well.This is transferred into my practice. I am non judgemental, congruent, confidential, empathetic and caring.
