Hope Counselling - for individuals and couples
Affordable Professional Service - 'In Person' and by video link
Offering hope to the community
Sometimes life throws unexpected and horrible things our way. It can take a lot of courage to begin to talk to someone about life’s difficulties, but deciding to engage in counselling can often be a step which offers renewed hope. Counsellors are used to seeing people in distress and have been trained to remain calm and make a safe space for you. Geoff counsels individuals and couples.
The Counsellor
Geoff Donnison has a Diploma of Higher Education in counselling and regularly undertakes supervision and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in accordance with professional requirements.
Geoff is on the Accredited Register of the Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked Professions (ACC) as a Registered Accredited Counsellor, abiding by the 'Ethics and Practice' of the ACC: you can check Geoff out on the Accredited Register (ACC).
Geoff is trained and experienced in a wide variety of counselling approaches, tailored as required to the needs of individual clients. Counselling is never about imposing the counsellor's own views on a client, allowing the person to fully express their own view of the world; however, as a qualified counsellor who is a Christian, Geoff is able to explore in depth aspects of Christian faith with clients if that is their desire. Geoff is happy to counsel people of all faiths and none.
The Setting for Counselling
Counselling sessions take place in a private room at Himley Road Methodist Church or by video link. Geoff is a member of the church.
It may be possible to arrange a home visit in certain circumstances. Please discuss with Geoff if required.
What are the Costs?
The full price for an hour-long (50 minutes by video link) individual session is £45; for couples the full price is £60 for a ninety minute session (75 minutes by video link). However, if this is not considered to be affordable for you, then please discuss with me as I do not want the cost alone to be a barrier to persons getting help - I do not want anyone to feel excluded. In all cases, an initial assessment will be offered free of charge without obligation.
