Counselling is a working relationship between client and counsellor. It provides a safe and confidential environment where people can bring a wide variety of problems and difficulties: bereavement, relationship issues or persistent patterns of behaviour which inhibit achievement and bring great dissatisfaction.
Through this therapeutic process people learn to use their own resources to identify problems, recognise choices of action and make appropriate changes. New ways of thinking and behaving can be tried out, which can lead to the discovery of unrecognised potential, increased self confidence and a greater zest for life.
The Clapham Common Clinic is recognised by The British Association For Counselling. All counsellorsl follow the BAC and/or UKCP code of practice.
Counselling offers an opportunity to explore feelings, experiences and problems in a safe and confidential environment. Given that people who come to counselling are often in a painful and vulnerable situation I aim to provide a calm and thoughtful space in which to begin to address your issues.
