WHY US?

1) You get to book your own appointments

2) My office is a 'away from it all', a place for you to come and sit, and be the real you

3) No notes will go onto your medical records

4) There are usually no restricted number of sessions – it is up to you and I (more you, though)

5) A clean and comfortable room to be in

6) Counselling For Liverpool is a truly independent, non-corporate service, and not affiliated with any other businesses, counselling organisations, statuary services e.g. social services etc.

7) As an independent service, and independent practitioner, this creates a number of benefits Inc. you only need to deal with me - start to finish, tighter confidentiality. No information is passed around other therapists, managers, supervisors and/or admin staff. You won't bump into your last therapist in the corridor..

8) I am fully qualified, trained in more than one approach (Person Centred or CBT are the main therapies most therapists are trained in). In addition, I'm trained in many other approaches including: AEDP, IFS Therapy, EMDR, Eye Movement Integration, Brainspotting therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy – these are not all available through the NHS or many other local organisations. This means that I'm more flexible and can help you on a much deeper level (see my experience and training here https://www.counsellingforliverpool.com/qualifications--experience.html​)

9) In the NHS and charities you are usually restricted by the number of sessions you are allowed, and put into the organization's monthly targets (how do I know this? - I've worked for them). You may be referred to 'group therapy' or an online self-help style computer programme -these are cost-cutting exercises to save money for the company.

10) Good quality tissues always available - if you see me online, you'll have to use your own…
