Welcome
Thank you for stopping by to look at my website - I hope I can be of some help to you.
Kay Fletcher Counselling began life back in 2011, offering counselling to adults and couples. It has grown and evolved since then and now also provides counselling to children and young people, including working in schools locally.
I am a person-centred counsellor which is a 'humanistic' therapeutic approach. This means I look at the way a person views and values themselves, the conscious thoughts, feelings and emotions, but I don't aim to interpret or diagnose. In this way
I would aim to work with the meaning your experiences have for you, in order to understand your experience from your point of view. To this end the counselling relationship is an important part of the therapeutic alliance and I would offer empathy, respect and honesty, to establish and support it. During the first session we can discuss working together and if we felt this was something we could do.
As a person-centred therapist then, I value the client's experience and am genuine, open and non-judgemental. I would hope you felt accepted and able to work honestly with, and understand, your own feelings. I believe this move to relying on your own values, and sense of self-worth would create a positive relationship with your inner resources and on-going access to this continued support.
I work privately from my practice in the small but picturesque village of Leintwardine, on the Shropshire/Herefordshire border. Appointments are available Monday-Saturday, with evening sessions an option. I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor and the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) is a professional body which safeguards clients and ensures they have access to competent and ethical practitioners. Accreditation means my '...practice has been deemed to meet our higher standard as a competent, ethical and independent practitioner,'
Best wishes,
Kay
