About me

Welcome, I’m Hillary a BACP registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist.

I am an integrative Counsellor which means I am trained in a range of theories and approaches which I draw on to tailor the way I work to meet your individual needs. No matter what has led you to consider counselling, I'm here to work with you to explore your thoughts and feelings.

I am also a qualified Coach, where I have experience of working with people navigating personal change and work related stress.

Counselling

Sessions are designed to help you achieve the outcomes you desire from counselling. I offer a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space where we can work at a pace comfortable for you. This may involve delving into current and past issues and unravelling the complexities of your present relationships and experiences.

My speciality is being able to sit with clients in the emotional pain they are experiencing and be alongside them whilst making sense of it together. I draw upon a range of techniques and methods to do this and always work at the pace the client feels most comfortable with. I have a strong drive to help clients work towards self-understanding, self-compassion and empowerment.

Therapeutic Coaching

As a qualified Counsellor and Coach, I can combine the two approaches of Coaching and Counselling and work with the whole person. This comprehensive and tailored approach addresses the diverse needs of individuals, promoting personal and professional development along with emotional well-being.

I work on a one-to-one basis with individuals who require support, focusing on the individual and their experience, considering the unique interplay between work and home life.

By integrating Counselling and Coaching I work in both a person-centred and solution-focused way to help the client work through issues such as:

Bereavement
Stress
Depression
Work-life balance
Anxiety
Confidence
Returning to work
Compassion fatigue

Sessions

Free Consultation

I offer a free 20 minute consultation on-line or by telephone. This is an opportunity to talk about why you are thinking about therapy, your hopes and what you want to achieve from therapy, to ask questions and for you to get of sense of whether you think we can work together. There is no obligation to begin therapy.

First Session

All clients will be offered an initial clinical assessment, I will need some personal information and we will talk about your wellbeing and what has brought you to therapy. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and we can agree together on how you want to work, we can also decide together if I am the right therapist for you.

" These sessions were invaluable to me. Hillary made me feel very at ease from the start, and as a result, I took away so much more from them than I had initially thought I might. There’s a friendliness there that helped me access the emotions and feelings that I was suppressing in a big way. We explored ways of coping that I can implement in my life that don’t feel overwhelming, and I noticed a significant improvement over the course of our sessions. "

" I was very thankful to my therapist, Hillary. I felt her openness and non-judgemental stance allowed me to be vulnerable and explore emotions that would have been very difficult to access independently. I felt I was able to connect with my mum more deeply following the sessions and they were of such great help. "

" I would wholeheartedly recommend Hillary. She provided a safe environment to share, and helped guide me to set specific goals to lead me to action. I have been surprised at the amount of change I have seen in myself in a relatively short time and have been left with tools I can use for life. "

" Hillary's coaching was incredibly helpful. I very quickly felt safe and so was able to open up and really explore challenges I was facing. She was brilliant at helping me to see situations clearly and work towards solutions that felt right to me. "
