YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH
Welcome to Protea counselling, where a holistic person centred approach to counselling can help you navigate difficulties in life-- such as, bereavement; infant loss; life limiting or life changing illness; neurodivergence; anxiety; depression; stress; anger and other life worries-- while nurturing good mental health & wellbeing.
HOW WE WORK
​
We work with adults, young people and children (10+)-- offering talking therapy with a person centred ethos. Our therapy can also include working creatively when finding the words becomes difficult.
Our counsellors have life and working experience with neurodivergence.
We facilitate the creation of a safe, accepting space where you can explore your feelings, trust your self, and make constructive choices towards your own growth.
Our counsellors are trauma informed and can help you safely navigate complex difficulties that may arise during therapy.
We work holistically, meaning that we recognise that you are more than what led you to seek therapy and encourage you to bring your "whole self".
Each session lasts up to 60 minutes.
Counselling is face to face in comfortable rooms in Beeston or remotely via video platform or telephone.
Session fees are £55/ hour, £25/ introductory session and concessionary rates are available for counselling students.
​​Payment is made by bank transfer prior to each session or cash in person.

The Protea
Having grown up in South Africa, we have always been fascinated by proteas; a family of flowering plants, of which many of the flowers are tough and enduring. The Protea is a beautiful and unique species of flower, that live in the harsh climates of South Africa and Australia. Found growing in shallow, rocky, nutrient-poor ground, these flowers thrive resiliently because they have everything they need. Like a protea, you are beautiful and unique; with a little help from the right counsellor-- you can find your resilient self, open up to your full potential and thrive.
GETTING STARTED
Asking for help can be daunting and we understand the importance of finding the right person to work with. This is why we offer the first session at a reduced fee, giving you the opportunity to decide if our service is right for you, with no obligation to continue afterwards. You may contact us by e-mail, phone or text to ask any initial questions you have and, should you want to, arrange a date and time for an introductory session. During this introductory session, you will have the opportunity to share your expectations for therapy, ask the counsellor any questions you may have and experience what working with them will be like.
"We cannot change, we cannot move away from what we are, until we thoroughly accept what we are. Then change seems to come about almost unnoticed."
