WHAT CLIENTS SAY

SOME SEASONS IN OUR LIVES CAN BE DIFFICULT

The loss of a relationship, a divorce, the death of a loved one or other major life events can rob our lives of joy and fulfilment. Other times we simply experience daily life as overwhelming or we make choices we regret and find ourselves getting caught up in unhelpful thinking habits or addictions.

While at times we walk through these seasons on our own or with the help of a friend, other times we need something more and something different. We might look for someone who takes the time to listen without judgement, asks questions and has the necessary objectivity and expertise to help us to find a way forward.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Heart & Mind can provide you with professional and confidential help and support in these difficult times.

A dedicated team of experienced therapists can offer short-term counselling or more long-term psychotherapeutic support and help.

While counselling is not a quick fix or an easy solution to life’s problems, it can help you to understand your behaviour, situations, and relationships and allow you to make informed decisions. It can teach you how to do things differently, break old patterns of behaviour and equip you with the necessary courage and practical tools to move forward.  

OUR THERAPEUTIC TEAM

We pride ourselves in providing personalised therapy, tailoring our support and help to your particular needs.

Our therapeutic counselling team consists of a number of therapists trained in various therapies and models. While every team member has her or his speciality and individual approach of working, each has been chosen for their genuine care for people and their commitment to providing a high-quality service. Before joining our senior associate counselling team, every therapist completes a clinical placement with Heart and Mind, ensuring they align with our values and high standards of care.

While each team member brings their own speciality and therapeutic approach, they all share a genuine commitment to supporting people and delivering a high-quality, ethical service. Our practitioners are registered members of professional bodies and have or are working towards accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) or the Association of Christians in Counselling UK (ACC), subscribing to their code of conduct in areas of ethics, practice and complaints procedures.

Below, you will find a selection of some of our senior associates who form part of the Heart & Mind therapeutic team. There are many more who aren’t listed below:

STAFF & MEMBER CARE

Do you have a busy life with no time to reflect on where you are headed? You would like to get off the treadmill but don't know where to begin?

Maybe you need someone who comes alongside you, carefully listens and gives you honest feedback. Someone that has the necessary skills and insights to support you in finding out who you are and what it is that you need or want to change in life.

HOW CAN COACHING HELP ME?

Coaching is a professional relationship between a coach and a person to be coached - for an agreed time and an agreed purpose. The process of coaching can help you to discover who you are, the values you have and what it is you want to achieve as a result of these personal discoveries. Future and action focused, coaching can create realistic action strategies and help you to achieve the personal goals in life you have set yourself.

There are multiple reasons someone may choose to engage the help of a professional coach. Here are some of them: 

• To establish a more healthy work-life balance

• To deal with a particular life transition

• To change a career

• To make more balanced decisions

• To clarify own values and passions

• To clarify life purpose

• To relate to people more effectively

• To manage stress better

• To increase self-awareness

HOW IS COACHING DIFFERENT FROM COUNSELLING OR THERAPY?

Often a person looks for professional counselling or therapy because they know something isn't quite right. It may be a profound sadness, anxieties or addictions that seem impossible to shake or ongoing difficulties in dealing with particular relationships.

Coaching, on the other hand, is for people who feel basically well-functioning and emotionally healthy but want to make some changes to their lives. More developmental in nature, coaching is about building on existing strengths and helping people to move towards their identified goals.

COACHING AT HEART & MIND

Still not sure if you are looking for a coach or a therapist? You do not have to settle for one or the other. Coaches at Heart & Mind can provide a flexible form of coaching which can be tailored to the particular needs and goals of each individual person.

When you come for coaching at Heart & Mind you will work with professionals who are trained in both disciplines - coaching and therapy. Coaches at Heart & Mind have undertaken professional coaching training while also being qualified therapists with psychological training. Being therapists they are equipped with the necessary psychological expertise to help clients to spot and overcome self-defeating thinking patterns and unproductive beliefs allowing them to move forward.
