Hello, I'm Val

Thank you for taking the time to read through and a very warm welcome to my profile.

It is such a brave step to reach out and ask for help and I would like to be your helping hand if you would like this too. We all need a helping hand from time to time. I cannot promise to fix things, but I can listen and give you a warm, therapeutic, non-judgemental space where you can hear yourself, and this can be surprisingly powerful.

I am person-centred at heart, in that I feel you know what you have tried and tested, however I am also integrative. This gives flexibility to our sessions and I can draw on different modalities if this feels beneficial to our therapeutic work together. 

I have counselled Adults and Young People, through Childline, School Counselling and New Hope. I hold an enhanced DBS for Child & Adult Workforce, Counsellor and Psychotherapist, alongside my Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ registration.

I counsel Adults and Young People aged 11 or over, and my speciality is neurodivergence, especially autism.  

I have a limited number of spaces for counselling students offering reduced rates so please do contact me if you would like to find out more about this.

I also sit on the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ Steering Group for Good Practice and help review the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ Good Practice in Action guides.

Therapy is all about you. As carers/parents, it can feel so hard to know which way to turn or who to choose for your child/young person's therapist. I can share my Secondary School and Childline written references with you.

Whilst young people need support and we are used to putting them first, I am also wondering as their trusted person, their parent, what support are you receiving? Maybe your young person is receiving support and you are feeling overwhelmed, life is so difficult and whatever you try does not seem to be working. Having a safe space to share how you feel, without judgement can be so valuable and it is really hard.

You may be an autistic or neurodivergent adult, seeking support at this point in your life, and having someone who is independent and non-judgemental can give you the space you need for this, so you can bring all parts of yourself and they can be nurtured within our therapeutic space.

You can email, telephone or text me. My phone is a work phone for client work, so please do leave me a message/text/whatsapp as my phone is off in client sessions or I am unable to take your call when with a client. We can then organise a free, initial 15 minute telephone call or online teams (you can choose what works for you) at a time which suits you, where we can explore what is happening for you, and if you feel you would like to work with me.  

I have a registered therapy dog which can be included in our in-person sessions if this is something which you may like, and this can also be explored within our consultation.

I can provide online counselling via teams or telephone, or in-person in Wolston, in my own counselling Hully Pod, a glamping pod purchased especially for in-person counselling / therapy sessions. I am commutable by bus from Coventry and Rugby, and by car from the wider Warwickshire, Leamington Spa, Warwick, Southam, Kenilworth, Bedworth, Nuneaton and surrounding villages. Sometimes having a commute can give you a little head space to process your session, before heading into life again.

I can also offer walk and talk therapy in Wolston if this feels like it is something which may work well for you, and we can explore this option in our initial call too.

My sessions are £55.00 each, payable in advance via Cash or BACS.

Thank you for reading my words and if you feel drawn to contact me, I would love to hear from you and be your helping hand, your listening ear. Take care of yourself.
