I'm Val, I live in the Charente near Confolens
and I have been a counsellor for many years. I have over 30 years of
professional qualified experience and I specialise in working with
adolescents and young adults in a warm, caring and practical way.
My approach aims to help individuals feel able to explore their
thoughts, feelings and behaviours safely and to help find ways of
moving forward in a way the client feels will be healthy and
appropriate for themselves.
During my whole working career, I have worked in the Mental Health
Services, and I consider it part of my DNA!
I recognise what a stressful transition it is to live in another
country, adapting to the new culture, rules, language, can all take
its toll. The usual anxieties and worries don't disappear just
because we're in a different location (sadly!).
People contact me for all sorts of problems, I'm not here to tell
you what to do, but listen and work with you towards understanding,
decision making, strategies for anxiety, depression, self-harm etc,
or simply as someone to talk to and help with whatever is going on
for you at the time. I work in a relaxed and humorous way, helping
to create a comfortable setting for you to work on yourself.
In my career, I have worked in the NHS, Colleges and Schools. In
addition I have had a very successful private practice and I have
helped many people to overcome issues such as; anxiety, panic,
depression, social phobia, self-harm, low confidence and self esteem
issues, bereavement, identity, sexuality and many, many other
issues.
My training and approach include a number of perspectives;
Person-Centred Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, NLP and
Hypnotherapy. I use approaches from each to help people make
decisions and changes in their lives.
I offer a friendly, practical, confidential, and non-judgemental
service. Our first session gives the opportunity to determine
whether working together will be a suitable fit and to work on a
plan to help you move forward.
Sessions are up to an hour long and will take place either on-line
or face-to-face near Confolens, in Charente, France.
Appointments are offered throughout the week, with some availability
after school for young people and those in work.
I possess a current Enhanced Disclosure check with the Disclosure
and Barring Service (DBS).
I specialise in working with adolescents and young adults but also
have extensive experience of working with adults too. My lower age
limit is 11 years.
Please telephone or email so that we can have a conversation about
your needs.Siret: 97804774400013 |
