Community Counselling Service

Safe Space:

From time to time we all face challenges in life, setbacks we weren't expecting and are unsure how best to overcome. Our team are here to support you, to allow you to explore the issues in your life and help you understand, come to terms with, develop, grow and become more resilient.

Meet the team - Hayley:

I’m passionate about connecting with people. After spending a career of over 30 years working with and supporting vulnerable children, young people and their families, I finally decided to embark on my lifelong ambition to specialise in supporting people through counselling. I feel so privileged to be studying towards my Level 4 Diploma in Counselling.

I understand the pressures that we can all experience, some more than others, at times throughout our lives.
Life can seem overwhelming and there can seem to be little time or space to consider how we feel or how we might overcome the challenges that cause us sadness, confusion, anxiety, anger or doubt.

We can spend much of our time thinking about others, helping others, looking after others, but what about us?
What about you?

I would love to offer you a safe space to talk, a space to think, a space and a time for you.

People would describe me as warm, genuine and non-judgmental. I’m passionate about offering you empathy and compassion and a chance for you to explore why you might be feeling lost or stuck.

As a trainee counsellor I am fully insured and registered as a student member of the BACP, working within their ethical guidelines.

Meet the team - Belinda Levene:

I have enjoyed working in marketing communications for over 20 years. After raising my family and seeking a more “meaningful to me” role, three years ago I began retraining in counselling and psychotherapy.

It is fair to say that most of us encounter challenging periods in our lives where we may feel anxious, depressed, or stuck.

Talking to someone who is uninvolved in your situation, and who will strive to understand your current difficulties from your perspective can help you find new ways to cope or make decisions regarding what matters to you.

Counselling is not about me giving solutions because only you know what is right for you, but I can offer support, and I am genuinely committed to helping you feel at ease and listened to, from the very beginning.

I work with the person-centred approach which means that I aim to build a trusting and respectful relationship with you. This is your time to talk about your concerns, in a safe and confidential space without judgement, so that you feel comfortable speaking openly and honestly. We can then explore problems together, which can be empowering and promote positive change.

I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and I work in accordance with their code of practice. I hold a current enhanced DBS certificate and insurance. I also attend regular monthly supervision.
