About Rowena Stark
Deciding to have counselling is a big step. People come for many reasons. A trigger could be reaching a turning point in your life. It’s tempting to struggle on. Sometimes we then bottle things up and maybe isolate ourselves too. There are healthier ways to find a way forward. Talking things through with an independent professional person can help you cope with difficulties. The aim is to enable greater understanding. This will encourage you to make positive changes.
I am a calm and approachable person. As a professional counsellor I offer you a safe 1:1 working relationship to explore and reflect on your thoughts, feelings and experiences. I believe that people are usually managing in the best way they can and are striving for balance, health and growth. I have extensive career experience of work with individuals and families of all ages and backgrounds. I feel it is important to focus on peoples’ strengths to achieve change and recovery.
I provide short and longer term confidential counselling to individuals.
I offer a free half hour assessment. We will discuss your hopes and explore your individual needs. You will have an opportunity to see what counselling is like and how it may help you. I draw on a variety of different approaches that can be adapted to suit each individual client.
Counselling sessions last 50 minutes and are usually on a weekly basis. The charge is £35. We can negotiate this if you are on a low income. Appointments are available Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm.
There is no set number of sessions. I encourage you to express your views about how things are going through regular reviews and feedback.
