About Linda Doughty Counselling
We all go through stages in our lives when we feel that things are getting on top of us.
This may be due to a single event, linked to past experiences or generally issues that are holding you back in reaching your full potential. Sometimes it may not be enough to talk to relatives and friends, they may be too close to you personally or involved in the situation that is troubling you.
As an experienced, accredited Counsellor, I provide a service that gives you space and time to talk through and express your thoughts, emotions and feelings. You will be listened to, without being judged in any way. I feel that it is important to have the opportunity to be heard within a relaxing, safe and supportive environment.
By having the freedom to explore and understand yourself, you will free your potential to live your life in a more satisfying and resourceful way.
I have over 20 years experience as an Integrative Counsellor and have been trained in a variety of counselling techniques and theories. As such, I am able to adapt your sessions to uniquely suit your needs.
At the initial consultation I will discuss with you what your expectations are, the issues that you wish to work through and what you are looking to achieve. This will also give you the opportunity to ask any questions that you have.
Sessions can be flexible and tailored to meet your needs regarding times, days and frequency. This can be reviewed at any stage during the subsequent sessions to ensure that the counselling continues to meet your requirements.
As an Accredited Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, I adhere to their Ethical Code of Conduct including confidentiality guidelines. I am registered with the ICO and work within the GDPR guidelines. I have an Enhanced DBS Certificate.
