Luan Baines-Ball Counselling & Psychotherapy

As a qualified counsellor/psychotherapist (BACP Registered and Senior Accredited), based in Leicester (LE1), I offer both brief focused and longer-term counselling and psychotherapy from my ground floor consulting room (accessibility info: door widths 75 and 69 cm). The room is in a discreet location and is easily accessible by public transport and there is on-street parking nearby.

Many of us, for different reasons, find parts of our lives very difficult; sometimes overwhelming, and it takes immense courage to work at understanding the things that are unsettling us. Past experiences can mould the people we become and by thinking together we can help discover why patterns of behaviour exist and encourage new patterns for the future; the hope for lasting change.

My belief in an individual’s ability to explore and evolve their understanding of themselves and their situation underpins my work. I ‘walk with’ those in distress and assist in helping manage and explore difficulties in an appropriately contained and supportive, yet challenging environment.

Developing a relationship of shared trust and respect is therefore essential for effective counselling, so it is important that there is a comfortable connection between client and counsellor. I provide a confidential place, free from judgement, for you to talk with someone about your concerns. I value each person’s individuality and honour difference, diversity and inclusive practice within my work.

I work on a 1:1 basis with adults and young people and cover a range of issues. I have particular expertise in areas of difference and diversity, and the impact of early separation on adult relationships.

Fees
Fees for 50-minute one-to-one counselling sessions are £65; I offer a limited number of reduced fee appointments. Please contact me to discuss your requirements.

Personal Therapy for Trainees
Undertaking counselling and psychotherapy training inevitably evokes underlying issues and I offer the space to work through these difficulties. The self-knowledge gained through personal therapy can provide valuable professional, academic and personal benefits.
