John Hilsdon

I am available on weekdays, except Thursdays, and early evenings up to 7pm.

I offer a uniquely tailored counselling service for individuals or couples, online or (by arrangement and depending on COVID restrictions) face to face. My online work is conducted via an app called VSee. I can also work with you as an individual or a couple via email, text chat or telephone. Full details can be found on my website www.counselmeonline.co.uk. I charge £50.00 per online session or £75 per face to face session, and I offer a low-cost, introductory online session for £15.00.

I have been a counsellor since 1999 and have worked with adults and young people from many different backgrounds and walks of life. My approach to counselling is based on humanistic and existential principles. This means that I start from a position of valuing each person as a unique human being, prioritising their needs and seeking to work with them within the terms of the BACP Ethical Framework for Counselling Professions. I follow the ‘existential’ principle that each person can find meaning from their experience of life and can make conscious and responsible choices to change and improve their lives. I modify how I work with each person to suit their needs, beliefs and preferences, choosing techniques drawn from a range of methods.

I can help with a broad range of issues including:

Abuse, Addictions, Anger management, Anxiety, Bereavement, Cancer, Cultural issues, Depression, Development coaching, Eating disorders, Executive coaching, Health related issues, Identity issues, Leadership coaching, Life coaching, Loss, Men's issues, Obsessions, OCD, Personal development, Phobias, Post-traumatic stress, Redundancy, Relationships, Self-esteem, Self-harm, Service veterans, Sex-related issues, Sexual identity, Sexuality, Spirituality, Stress, Trauma, Work related issues

I work using a range of types of therapy to suit individual clients based on their own belief systems, values and needs. these include:  CBT, Cognitive, Creative therapy, Existential, Humanistic, Integrative, Person centred, Psychosynthesis, Relational, Transactional analysis and Transpersonal approaches to therapy.

I work with: 

Adults, Couples, EAP, Older adults, Organisations, Trainee, Young people

The first session is vital in establishing if and how I can help you. I use a 'contracting' approach to set boundaries, explain my professional ethical principles and approach to confidentiality within the law. I allow plenty of opportunities for questions and time for you to consider your choices in beginning therapy.
