My Passion for Counselling

Hello, I am Sylvie and I have been a counsellor for nearly 18 years now. When I started to train as a counsellor, all those moons ago, I knew I had found my calling. Everything had led me to that place for a reason, and at last I felt complete. I have never looked back and I absolutely love my work.

I started my training in 2000 studying Person Centred Counselling and in 2004 qualified with an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy (Adv Dip). In my professional capacity, I then went on to study further, gaining a Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT Dip), Mindfulness Teaching and Practice (MTDip) and I also have specialist training in palliative care, bereavement and loss, and autism spectrum disorders.

In 2012 I gained a 1st Class joint Honours degree at The University of Wales, Trinity St David in Education and Social Inclusion (Additional Learning Needs), (Ba Hons). I am a Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and am bound by a strict Code of Ethics.

All About Me

I live in beautiful Herefordshire with my partner. We moved to the countryside from the city to enjoy the many benefits of a less hectic lifestyle, including the beautiful scenery, plenty of adventurous walks and to be closer to nature, a proven way to achieve peace and balance your life.

I have a few hobbies, not as many as I would like but I enjoy relaxing too much. Baking is a passion of mine and I love watching The Great British Bake Off, however my idea of what I want to achieve, and the reality are often very different. Just imagine Mrs Cropley from the Vicar of Dibley! I try though, and that is all you can do.

I absolutely love animals, gardening, my caravan in Wales and like nothing better than walking on the beach or sitting in my garden doing crosswords for a bit of escapism.

I hope that has given you a little insight as to who I am, and I look forward to getting to know you as we embark on your journey together.
