Background

Hello.  My name is Judith and I work as a psychotherapeutic counsellor at The Counselling and Psychotherapy Centre in Old Town, Swindon.

I am sorry that you are struggling with difficult experiences at this time in your life.  And I am pleased that you are exploring ways to find support and assistance for yourself.

I have undertaken extensive training as a psychotherapist and counsellor (see below for details) and have experience working with people in a variety of different circumstances and clinical settings.

As a psychotherapeutic counsellor I create a confidential, non-judgemental, peaceful space within which we can meet safely on a regular basis with the objective of exploring what changes you desire and seeking ways to facilitate them.

Our initial meeting will be free of charge as an opportunity for us to say hello and for you to decide if counselling with me as your therapist is something that you want to take further.  Please call 07955 527 539 for a no obligation conversation regarding any questions you may have about my profile or counselling in general, or to make an initial appointment.

I wish you every success with your investigations and forays into counselling and psychotherapy and hope that you will find relief speedily and thoroughly from whatever brings you to this enquiry.
