About me and my therapy practice
I am a qualified integrative counsellor who is passionate about giving you the opportunity to really feel seen and heard. I believe that providing a safe and therapeutic space for an individual to talk about and to explore thoughts and feelings has the potential to create a mindset that can lead to a person being able to live a more authentic and fulfilling life. As an integrative counsellor I draw on predominantly humanistic therapeutic approaches which includes person centred, Gestalt and existentialism. This means that I will always put you as the client at the heart of the relationship and support you to work through your agenda and at your pace at all times.
I ensure that I work to the values, standards and expectations set out in the Ethical Framework for Good Practice set out by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP 2018 ) of which I am a registered member. This means that I will always endeavour to create a relationship in which you can feel safe, valued and respected. I believe that it is the relationship that is the most important aspect of an effective therapeutic encounter.
I believe that my previous experience as a senior nurse within the NHS has helped to inform my counselling work. Particularly when clients have experienced traumatic loss and bereavement and experienced pain and psychological distress associated with a particular diagnosis and/or chronic illness. I also currently hold a post as an outreach counsellor with a Cancer charity which has enabled me to gain valuable experience supporting individuals and their families experiencing Cancer and life limiting diagnosis.

Lucy - Compassionate Counsellor Supporting Your Wellbeing
Counselling is a talking therapy that involves a trained therapist listening to you and helping you find ways to deal with emotional issues.
Sometimes the term "counselling" is used to refer to talking therapies in general, but counselling is also a type of therapy in its own right.
Counselling can help you cope with:
- a mental health condition, such as depression, anxiety or an eating disorder
- an upsetting physical health condition, such as infertility
- a difficult life event, such as a bereavement, a relationship breakdown or work-related stress
- difficult emotions – for example, low self-esteem or anger
- other issues, such as sexual identity
At your appointment, you'll be encouraged to talk about your feelings and emotions with a trained therapist, who'll listen and support you without judging or criticising. The therapist can help you gain a better understanding of your feelings and thought processes, and find your own solutions to problems. But they won't usually give advice or tell you what to do. You may be offered a single session of counselling, a short course of sessions over a few weeks or months, or a longer course that lasts for several months or years. It can take a number of sessions before you start to see progress, but you should gradually start to feel better with the help and support of your therapist.
Throughout the week Lucy from Sunflowers Counselling is available to make an appointment with. Please contact her direct on 01656 511018, info@sunflowerscounselling.co.uk or visit the website
Katie Jones - MBACP
Contact 07860 603645 or email thehillstherapies@sky.com
Hello, my name is Katie. Are you at a crossroads in your life, against a brick wall or feel trapped in a dark hole? I would like to help you. I am a member of the BACP professional body. As a fully trained, qualified counsellor with both children, young people and adults, my focus is to provide a warm safe space to help you navigate your way through difficult times.
Much of my work has been in the field of complex trauma, with people recovering from difficult childhood experiences, from sexual trauma or abuse they may have experienced at a young age which has impacted their lives in adult years. I also work with those who have experienced trauma in more recent years and am dedicated to helping people recover from this.
I want my young clients to feel that they have a voice, and in providing that safe space encourage them to express themselves in their own way, either through talking, but also through using creative techniques which allows us to explore what is going on for them. Most importantly that they are being listened to and feel heard without judgement.
I am experienced in working with anxiety and depression, adapting to life-changing diagnoses, grief and loss which come as a result of many life events. I offer the space to reflect, recover and re-evaluate life. I am keen to help adults, teenagers and young people find their way back. I firmly believe it is never too late to change and move forward with life.
I offer short and long term therapy, sometimes people feel that a few sessions are all they need to work things out. For others a long-term approach may be helpful, particularly if difficulties have been there for a long time. The first session will be a chance for you to talk about how you have been feeling and what you may be hoping for. It is an opportunity for us to decide to work together.
Please feel free to call me for a chat, whether you prefer to phone or send me a message, I look forward to hearing from you.
