Counsellor & Psychotherapist in Herefordshire - Marian Gillett

I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist with appointments available in Leominster, Hereford and Presteigne. I offer both short term counselling and longer term psychotherapy with individuals. I also offer couple counselling, having previously worked for Relate for 10 years. I have had experience of working with individuals and couples from a wide variety of backgrounds. Please contact me in complete confidence for further details, and perhaps to arrange an initial exploratory session. We can meet to discuss what you are hoping for and any concerns you may have. A one hour session costs £37 for an individual and £40 for a couple. Tel: 01547 517169 Email: marian_gillett@yahoo.co.uk

Counselling is usually more short-term and often has a specific goal and more defined focus. The longer you continue, the more you will identify patterns from the past, and how they influence you now.
Psychotherapy looks in depth at these underlying patterns and how they are affecting your present life.

You may wish to come as a couple to work on problems you are having in your relationship. Counselling can help you understand the underlying problems as well as the more obvious difficulties. This understanding can help to reduce the power of past and present hurts and disappointments, and find more satisfying ways of being together.

My training is an integrative one, combining the humanistic and psychoanalytic schools of thought. From the humanistic or person-centered approach comes a belief that people will naturally grow towards health if given the right conditions; from the psychoanalytic approach comes a concern with human development and with the childhood patterns that affect us in the present.
