.Vivien Blackford Counselling

Welcome. Confidential counselling offered by BACP accredited counsellor,  Bupa/Aviva approved, with over twenty years experience offering safe accepting space for you to bring what you need to speak about.  Experienced in working in many styles of counselling including cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, solution focused, integrative counselling and will draw on these if they are helpful to you.

So what is bringing you to seek counselling……

Perhaps you need to speak about living through these current times. Perhaps it is something else you are needing support with. Do you need support with workplace/personal issues, a bereavement, a life transition e.g. beginning a new relationship, changing jobs, a change in health etc.. Perhaps support is needed for personal growth. Are there addictive/unhelpful behaviours and beliefs that you would like to change. Is there something from your past that is unresolved……….. If so counselling can help.

The quality of the relationship you and your Counsellor create together (known as the therapeutic alliance) plays an important part in any change. Our first meeting together gives you a sense of how you will feel working with me.

Each person is different, so at our first meeting I will listen to your counselling needs and this will inform how we may work together.   This can change over time as your needs change and as you progress.
