Íø±¬ÃÅ

I currently have availability on Thursday mornings.

I am a fully qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor and offer counselling for all adults.  I am highly trained, a member of the leading body for Psychotherapeutic services (Íø±¬ÃÅ) and my training is accredited by the British Psychoanyltic Council.  I trained in Gloucestershire and at the Tavistock and Portman Clinic in London. I have regular training and supervision to deepen my working practice.  All sessions are held in a confidential and comfortable space or online from the comfort of your own home.

Amelia Baalack Counselling and Psychotherapy offers adults a space to talk. I can offer in room sessions at a venue in Cheltenham and Marlborough or Online sessions from the comfort of your own home. Life can be up and down and sometimes it can feel overwhelming or a bit too much- I provide a space to think about how and why you are feeling the way you do. 

 I offer a completely confidential space and approach and concern without judgement. Psychodynamic Therapy is a way of linking your past experiences and relationships into the present and can be a very powerful and effective tool. We can use feelings that emerge in the room between us to think about these in context of your past but also using them to think about the future in a constructive and positive way. 

 I have a particular interest in marriage difficulties and aging, but have experience with working with many presenting concerns.

As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy I adhere to their code of Ethics, practicing professionally.

Regular sessions are 50 minutes in length and will be at the same time and location each week.  In your first session I will guide you through what to expect.

I offer short term work of 12 sessions where the work is targeted and focused on a specific concern.

Or

Open -Ended, longer term work with you- sometimes problems are tricky to pin down.  This approach offers time and space for them to emerge and for us to think about them together.

Your initial consultation will last 1 hour and will be slightly different in format from sessions going forward. We will be able to meet and talk about what brings you to therapy. We will discuss what it is you are looking for and we can think about how many sessions you would benefit from.

There will be time for you to ask me any questions and for me to also talk to you about how I work.

We will agree a time to meet going forward.
