ABOUT ME

Deidre Waite, Dip Couns MBACP (Accred) Registered Member: 59897

I have a Diploma in Integrative Humanistic Counselling and a Diploma in Supervision. My initial training was in the Person-Centred approach and I then went on to study other approaches within my Diploma including Transactional Analysis and Gestalt therapy, among others.

My Integrative approach enables me to provide you with support that is as unique as you are. As well as traditional talking therapy, I also work creatively, where appropriate, using objects, stones, painting and sand tray.

I regularly attend training courses and workshops in order to continue my professional development.

As well as being in private practice and working with individuals, couples and groups, I worked with Cruse Bereavement Care for 11 years as a volunteer counsellor, supervisor and trainer and so have specialist experience of working with loss and bereavement. I was also a volunteer counsellor with a local low-cost counselling service for many years.

If you would like to discuss whether counselling is right for you, I offer a free 30 minute telephone session. If you decide to proceed then our first meeting will give us the opportunity to get to know one another and to decide if we wish to work together. We will establish a business contract (regular day, session time and fee) including a confidentiality agreement at this first meeting.
