Hi! My name is Abi, I am the counsellor at CM Counselling Services. I am a qualified Gestalt Counsellor. The wonderful clients I have worked with have taught me many things, the most important of which is that you are at the centre of all therapeutic work. Before becoming a counsellor, I worked in education for 6 years with young people aged 16+. The deep understanding of the challenges faced by my students was the start of my journey into counselling. 

​

I am a member of the BACP and adhere to their Ethical Framework and Professional Standards in my work.

 

What is Gestalt Counselling?

​

Gestalt Counselling is a Humanistic therapy, that focusses on your self-awareness and perception. As well as talking, I might also invite you to try some creative work. This can range from using some cards to help identify emotions to using a sand tray to map out thoughts. If this isn't your cup of tea, that's no problem! We can simply talk through whatever you wish to bring. Your therapy is for you to use how you need.
