At my practice, I offer lots of different types of counselling services – from individual sessions to group therapy. It all depends on what each client needs and what they’ll benefit from. Because a lot of my clients lead busy lives, I also offer online and telephone counselling if that suits their schedule better. Although I always suggest coming in for a face-to-face session now and then, as these are often very helpful.
To be a certified counsellor, you need to have a Level 4 qualification in counselling. This can be as a diploma, or at a degree or postgraduate level. I chose to go down the university route by undertaking a BSc Hons in Psychology & Counselling. This meant that I got a degree and was accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am now a registered counsellor with over 10 years of experience and have completed a number of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) modules.
Most of my clients have certain goals in mind when it comes to their therapy. Often they want to resolve issues which are causing difficulties in their lives. This may be problems in their personal relationships that they want help working through. It could be with their partner, family, friends, or work colleagues. Or they may want to develop coping mechanisms to help deal with their own mental health. But often these can interlink. For example, if a client is wanting help with their personal relationships, this often has a positive knock-on effect on their own mental health.

I’ve only worked with John for a couple of weeks now, but I’ve felt massive impacts have happened and more will come. He talks to me like a person, treats me with respect, and provides me with a comfortable environment. Even though our time has been short, I’m excited to see where his help can bring me.

Great listener and focuses on the things you want to work on. Effectively uses all the time we have during the call, which I really appreciate.

After struggling with a miscarriage and losing my father this year I decided it was time to reach out for help. That’s when Yvonne contacted me through bark. I instantly felt at ease talking to Yvonne over the phone so went ahead and booked 4 sessions of bereavement counselling. Yvonne took the time to listening and help me through my grief and she just “got it”. I would highly recommend Yvonne and look forward to catching up with her again in the new year. Yvonne, thank you so much for helping me move forward. You are an absolute angel.
