June Crompton

I work flexible hours Monday to Friday. I work to the clients needs and availability which means counselling appointment times do not have to be the same time and the same day of every week - this allows more access to counselling regarding, work, shift patterns, child care arrangements and other various commitments a person may have.

I work from home and have a separate Counselling office situated in the garden which is private and quiet.

I have 26 years experience as a person-centred Counsellor. I use other theoretical approaches and also work creatively, at times,  with various therapeutic tools for example; colours, paper and crayons, stones and crystals and pen and paper and poetry.

I work within my professional capabilities and my training - which is always on-going in terms of;  reading mental health articles, journals & books: attending conferences, seminars and workshops and involving myself in topical counselling research & studies.

I listen carefully to the client's story and offer my reflections and feedback to them. I work willingly and openly . I am always very interested in what people bring to the counselling room and I appreciate very much how difficult it can be for someone to begin to talk about themselves, their important issues/concerns, their feelings & emotions,  losses, possible dilemma's, personal struggles and relationships. I am also very keen to learn of their hopes and dreams.
