My private practice days are Monday afternoon/early evening and Friday mornings for face to face sessions. Phone sessions available on Wednesdays. 

Hello, I am Pamela, a qualified and insured Person-Centred counsellor working with adults (18+). My preference is to work with you face to face but I can also offer a mix of telephone and face to face if this works better for you. My role is not to give you advice (you have probably had a lot of that from various people and does it really work?) or to direct you. Instead I will work alongside you, offering you a space which is yours, where you are in control and crucially is free from judgement. You can leave any expectations at the door and just be you. What a relief!

My Qualifications:

Level 4 CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling

BA Honours in Psychology

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ Certificate of Proficiency 

Experience:

I have been a volunteer counsellor with a local charity for the past 4 years who offer low cost counselling, allowing anyone to access the support they need. This role has allowed me to work with people from all kinds of backgrounds with a wide range of issues. 

I have also been a Home-Start accredited volunteer in the past, supporting families in their homes and working with young mums in a group setting. 

Experience of being the client:

As part of my training I was required to have my own therapy and I have chosen to continue with this since qualifying. It means I never forget how challenging it can be to sit in that chair and be with what is coming up for me. It also reminds me of the importance of finding the right counsellor, one I can trust and be myself with.
