About Vivien Blackford
BACP accredited counsellor, BUPA registered, with over sixteen years counselling experience, offers safe, accepting, confidential space in which to speak and be heard.
Being heard in counselling can help clarify issues that may be causing confusion. Perhaps support is needed due to a bereavement, life transitions; eg. going to university; entering into a new stage in a relationship. Perhaps support is needed for addictions, workplace stress/personal issues/personal growth etc.
Being heard in counselling can bring about a deeper understanding of yourself and of what matters to you.
First session is a one off session to think about the most helpful form of support
Counselling is offered on a time limited and open ended basis
About Counselling

So what bring you to counselling now and how do you choose which counsellor to go and see?
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.
This initial consultation allows us to meet face to face and talk about your counselling needs. If we decide to begin counselling together we can agree a regular appointment time. Counselling sessions take place on a weekly basis and maybe for a fixed number of sessions or open-ended
