Alice Woodroffe
Counselling Services
Welcome
Hello and welcome.
Reaching out for help is a big step, I hope that this page will give you a good understanding of my counselling approach and the support that I can offer you.
If there is something that is upsetting you or an issue you are struggling with you do not have to deal with these problems alone.
I am currently offering sessions online and by telephone. I hope to offer sessions in person later in the year.
I am based near Bath but work online with clients across the world.
My Approach
I am a Humanistic Practitioner. The Humanistic approach is based on the idea that each person is the expert of themselves. When things are difficult to process a Humanistic practitioner focuses on empathising with a client in order to support them in understanding and processing their feelings and experiences.
I can offer you a safe and confidential space where we can look together at the things that are difficult for you and explore how you would like life to be. I endeavour to create a kind, thoughtful environment and accompany you on your journey to greater fulfilment.
"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change" - Carl Rogers, Founder of Person Centred Therapy
