COUNSELLING & HYPNOTHERAPY:

Hello there ….. my name is Jacqueline Spence. Supporting and enabling a person to grow beyond his/her personal difficulties is a subject close to my heart.   
  
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Counselling. The course I studied was integrative with person-centred core values.   Whilst I have been trained in the use of Cognitive Behavioural and Brief Solution Focused models along with Gestalt, Psychodynamic and Transactional Analysis my style of counselling is Person-Centred, Client led. This way of working ensures that the client progresses at a pace he/she feels comfortable with. 

I am an advocate of personal therapy and over the years I have experienced the counselling styles of three different counsellors which, I feel, has enabled me not only to grow as an individual, but also to enhance my own counselling practice.  
 
I have worked as a professional counsellor within a GP Practice and have also been one of a bank of counsellors working with disadvantaged sixteen to twenty-five year olds.   Alongside my other counselling commitments, I worked on a voluntary basis for the Churches’ Counselling Service in Wales, a Charity, which offers counselling to all, regardless of personal beliefs.  
 
I now work solely in Private Practice and I abide by the ethical framework for good practice as set out by the B.A.C.P.  My own values are in alignment with the fundamental values of counselling, which include:
  • Respecting human rights and dignity
  • Ensuring integrity in client-counsellor relationships
  • Alleviating personal distress and suffering
  • Increasing personal effectiveness
  • Enhancing the quality of relationships between people
  • Appreciating the variety of human experience and culture

Complementary to my Counselling qualification I also hold a Diploma in Hypnotherapy. I have worked as a Hypnotherapist both in private practice and in a complementary medical centre set up by a group of GPs. I am dedicated to the professional and ethical use of Hypnosis and I have satisfied the Hypnotherapy Control Board of my knowledge and competence in the safe and proper use of Hypnosis. All hypnotic and post-hypnotic suggestions are so worded that the effect can only be beneficial to you.
 
I work from my home as I feel this offers my clients a more relaxed and open atmosphere in which to explore their thoughts. I am situated on the edge of St Nicolas du Pelem, a small village near Rostrenen in area 22. For those living in other areas or not able to travel, I offer online counselling through the medium of Skype.

Having made the move to France, I am aware of the anxieties and loneliness which can often be experienced in moving to a foreign country. A move which necessitates learning to live in a different culture and speak a different language.
