Jones
FdSc Counselling MBACP (Accredited)
I trust in the human capacity for growth and care deeply about improving mental wellbeing, offering a warm and compassionate approach. Just as plants have a core strength enabling them to withstand adverse conditions, we can learn to access our own inner resources when life is challenging. I aim to make a positive difference by helping you gain insight and strengthen your inner resources and resilience. Guided by your individual needs, I can help you explore your experiences, gain clarity and develop healthy coping strategies to manage whatever difficulties you may face.
About Me
Integrative Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy & Person-Centred Therapy for Adults.
My name is Alison Jones and I provide counselling to adults offering a flexible, individualised approach. I am an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, which means that I am recognised by the BACP as a counsellor with a high standard of knowledge, experience and development.
For over 10 years I have provided counselling within the Higher Education sector to a diverse population of students and staff presenting with a variety of issues. Other experience includes working for charities such as Cruse Bereavement Care and Safeline; supporting people who have experienced bereavement and adult survivors of sexual abuse.
The BACP Ethical framework for the Counselling Professions underpins my work to ensure I provide safe and professional support. More information about this and the counselling process may be found at www.bacp.co.uk
It is important to me to offer best practice and I regularly attend Continued Professional Development to expand my knowledge and skills.
I am fully insured, and all of my work is clinically monitored. I also hold an enhanced DBS certificate.
