Invitation to Talk with Jill Edwards

Is it time for us to talk?

If you would like to contact me, I can offer you a safe, confidential, professional counselling service with a BACP Accredited Counsellor with a wide range of experience and expertise, with relationships, couples work, losses and bereavements, anger anxiety and depression.

One of my clients wrote: "Knowing I had a safe place to go where I could be, and connect with my true self was invaluable. I feel that this year is ending on a much better note than it began. The time and effort was so worthwhile."

I recommend to all my clients that if they feel that things are getting too much for them they should contact the Samaritans on 08457 909090. That is why I am happy to support the Samaritans fundraising by paying them £5.00 per session on Friday. If you would like to book a session on that Friday, then they will receive £5.00 contribution.

Relationships

I believe that working with difficult relationships is one of the places where we are most likely to improve the quality of life we have. Counselling can give us a new perspective and greater hope of developing supportive and enjoyable relationships. Loneliness is endemic and if you call me you can gain the self confidence which makes life enjoyable again.

Bereavements and Losses

Losses and bereavements are a natural and inevitable part of life, but it is surprising the effect they can have on how we see life, and you may have experienced how bereavements can make you feel so low or disturbed as to make life seem not worth living. There are big changes to cope with and a re-appraisal of past events and the future you had planned. It is an opportunity to talk through past experiences and find a way to live in the new circumstances that arise.

Couples work

I can see you as a couple and work with you as individuals. I take care that each person comes away with positive results in their lives which they can contribute to the development of the relationship. I will make sure that the environment is safe for you to explore the more difficult things you may need to say. It is possible for couples to find new ways of working together and it is a positive experience to move out of the negative ways which have not been working for so long.

A Rough Childhood

If you are one of those people whose experience of childhood was uncomfortable and disturbing, you will be pleased to know that if you call me, working together we can look at the consequential beliefs and life practices you have learnt and give you the opportunity to provide yourself with a kinder and happier way of living.

Healthy Living Choices

I understand that when you find yourself using eating, drinking and smoking, or other mood altering substances to solve some of life's problems, it can be difficult to take up the choice of a healthier life style, without dealing with the underlying problems and without support in practical ways of establishing healthier practices. I am a specialist alcohol counsellor with experience of a range of health based issues and I offer you a broad based and accepting approach to full recovery.

Feeling better

We can look together at any problem. Clients tell me that the work they do with me is interesting, useful, focused, effective and on occasion enjoyable. They say that everything in their lives feels better. If you call me we can meet face to face, via e-mails or by telephone appointment and I will consider home visits where there is incapacity.
