Counsellor / Psychotherapist

In addition to counselling/psychotherapy work, I also work as a supervisor, supervising the work of other counsellors and student counsellors. I have counselling experience across a wide variety issues such as depression and anxiety, work-related stress, confidence, decision making, relationship conflict, childhood sexual abuse, trauma, questioning sexual orientation or gender identity and many other life's challenges, both recent and historic. I currently work in community support and advocacy for people who identify as LGB & T and have a career history of working with a wide range of people ( individuals and groups) in coaching, development, training and management to senior level in corporate, not-for profit and entrepreneurial settings. I have some experience of, and an affirmative approach to those with alternative lifestyles and interests. My counselling style is humanistic and client-led; I aim to support you within a collaborative relationship to help you find the solutions you seek. I offer confidentiality, warmth, compassion, honesty, an open mind and at times......appropriate humour. I work using an Integrative Model: simply put, this means I am trained to draw from several compatible theories and models to suit your individual situation. My extensive professional training enables me to be a BACP member, meaning that I adhere to and am covered by an Ethical Framework and Code of Conduct to protect your best interests. For therapy to be most effective, it is important that you feel comfortable with me. I offer a low cost 30 minute assessment session at 15 for you to decide this. We can of course, have an informal initial conversation by telephone to discuss your personal situation. Thank you for taking the time to consider me as your counsellor. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you. Tina Tina Hill-Art MBACP
