Welcome to Contemplate Counselling.
The fact you're here suggests things may not be going so well.
The world is becoming more complicated and we are all doing our best. It can change so fast, we don't get time to prepare or brace ourselves, often leaving us dazed and confused.
Statistics suggest that over 1 in 3 adults in the UK have now sought Counselling. That is over 18 million people. This is a number that is growing rapidly, and shows just how much harder life is becoming, and that we are not alone in the struggle.
Here at Contemplate Counselling we create a space in which you can explore and make sense of that struggle.
As an Integrative Counsellor, my core method is Person-Centered. As the title suggests, this focuses on who you are, how you experience this world, and uses that to inform the work we do together. For those more intent on a specific goal, I integrate the Solution Focused approach. This is more about what you feel your life should look like and helps you to draw on your existing resources to find a path towards it.
It is nearly impossible to describe what counselling is, because it varies with everyone who engages with it. The only way to know if it will help, is to give it a go.
For more information about this service, please call the number above.
Nervous about calling? That's way more common than you might think. We believe we should be able to handle things ourselves, but few realise that seeking support IS a part of handling things ourselves.

Counselling is..
A quiet space for a set amount of time that is just for you. A place to stop, explore and reflect on life and the challenges it brings.
Counselling can be different for different people. This is your time, and I will follow your lead.
Whether you know what you want to gain from this service or are unsure, counselling can help to focus your thoughts and find a way to the life you wish to lead.
There are now more ways than ever to experience this kind of support.
Over the phone
Ideal for those who want to talk without having to travel. All you need is a quiet space, with a good signal where you won't be distracted. I call you at an agreed time. All you have to do is answer.
Online
Ideal for those reluctant or unable to travel but who still wish to see who they are talking to. All you need is a good enough internet connection to hold a video call and an email address. Again, I set up the call, all you have to do is answer.
Face to face
For those who prefer to be in the room while they do their session. This method offers a comfortable space to sit and talk. The building has local parking and wheelchair access.
Outdoor face to face
For face-to-face sessions, I am based in Llangollen, North Wales. The walk and talk service is a little different and makes the best of this beautiful countryside and all it has to offer.
Please note: I am currently only taking evening (6pm onwards) and weekend appointments.
Getting in touch

When I contact you, I will explain a bit about the service, and if you wish to continue, we can book an initial session.
Contemplate Counselling is a small Person centred service that puts the clients autonomy first. Based in Llangollen, North Wales, this practice focuses on the people it supports and understands that they are the experts of themselves. My role is to assist those who have lost their way or who just simply want to be heard.
