About me and my therapy practice

I am able to offer a safe, supportive, confidential environment for adults, young people and children to talk through and try and make sense of what they are finding difficult. Sometimes, if the words are just not there, we can use creative tools to try and process what is happening.

To help and see if I am the right person to offer you the support you need, I offer a free, introductory, fifteen minute telephone consultation. If you would like to proceed we will arrange a convenient time for a first session. Please note that I accept clients from most Health Insurance companies.

Please see my website for further information on how I practise and the counselling available: https://micheleblockleycounselling.com/

I am a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor. This means that I can offer you an empathic, non-judgemental, confidential counselling relationship where I will help support you to achieve your unique potential, empowering you to help make change happen through looking at your self development and your ability to make different choices. We will gently explore your feelings and emotions and help you to gain a greater understanding of yourself.

I have been awarded 糖心官网 Accredited status. This has been designed to recognise counsellors who have achieved a high level of knowledge, experience and development, meeting the 糖心官网鈥檚 higher standard as a competent, ethical and independent practitioner. I have also undertaken further training in the following:

- Working with the bereaved (Cruse Bereavement Care)

- Counselling skills with children using the arts (Institute for Art and Therapy in Education, Islington)

- Psychotherapeutic counselling with children and young people (Ocean Counselling Training, LLP, Rochester)

My private practice is located in Hook within easy reach of the M3, junction 5. Parking is available.

I offer short and long term therapy to adults, children and young people. I balance this whilst working in a local secondary and prep school as a their Counsellor.

Practice description

My practice is in a comfortable, confidential setting in my home. Toilet facilities are available.
Parking is free and available in the adjoining driveway.
Hook village is a ten minute walk away with bus links and a rail service.

Whilst waiting for their child/young person many choose to visit the local shops or Sainsburys, which is a five minute walk away.

My first session

Our first session will be an opportunity to see if I am the right person to be working with you or your child/young person.

I will outline how I work as a Counsellor and as appropriate, show you the creative media I have available. Although, this is predominantly used with children and young people, adults are also welcome to engage with the materials to assist in the therapeutic process.

I will take contact details and a background history from you and we will look at the presenting need. We will look at your hopes for the counselling process and how you would like things to be different at the end of our time together. We will also agree a contract to ensure full transparency. We will then agree a day and time for our sessions. Where possible, I will offer flexibility to accommodate work/life needs.
