Mandy | Counsellor and Psychotherapist
Counselling St Albans - Bricket Wood
Taking the first step to make contact with a therapist can seem extremely daunting, but with the right help there comes the opportunity for improved wellbeing in your life.
I offer a safe, professional and confidential counselling/psychotherapy service where we can look at the difficulties you are experiencing in a safe, supportive environment. My training is integrative in theoretical terms and our work will always reflect your individual needs.
Life can be full of unexpected twists and turns, we sometimes feel that we are speedily being pushed in a wrong direction and at other times, just completely stuck. By exploring your life together you can share your concerns and gain insights into issues that may have arisen from the past or present. Together we can explore the impact of what is troubling you, what changes may be made and consider ways of improving your wellbeing within the support of a supportive therapeutic relationship.
About me
I am a fully registered member of the British Association for counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and am committed to working within this ethical framework.
I offer a free 20 minute zoom consultation where you can ask any questions you may have and I can tell you what you can expect from me. If working together feels right then we will agree when and how we will meet going forward.
Our first session after consultation would involve a discussion about your life and what has brought you to counselling, what you would like to focus on and the number of sessions you may require.
Ongoing sessions will each last for 50 minutes for individuals and 60 minutes for couples.
I offer ongling sessions using online platforms as well as working face to face from my quiet private practice in Bricket Wood, AL2. All online sessions are offered inside the same quiet, peaceful space of my therapy room and if working online I invite you to consider where you may find this space inside your own home to enable you to feel safe enough to explore troubling aspects of your life.
Online therapy
You may feel uncertain about beginning therapy online, this way of working may be new to you or you may be fearful of managing your sessions this way. To help alleviate your concerns I offer a free consultation over zoom where we can discuss working together. Sessions are available either online or face to face at my room in Bricket Wood AL2
