Edna Duckett - Counselling & Hypnotherapy

About me

I aim to use the counselling style and techniques best suited to each individual client, their background and their problems.

I have many years experience working with clients from a wide range of cultural backgrounds and work with individual, individuals as well as couple. My core training is in humanistic and person-centred counselling. I integrate different therapy models and adapt to each client's individual needs. I provide a safe and confidential and non-judgemental environment.

I have a nursing background. However, My early counselling skills training with Victim Support, Cruse Bereavement Care and Samaritans was base on integrate, supportive approach. From this I have developed a more natural, informal interactive style.

I use cognitive techniques to some extent to assist clients to find their own solutions as it is the most appropriate for some clients. I work with individual or individuals to develop their awareness of themselves and their problems and to explore their individual experience of anxiety and distress and to encourage insight into repeating patterns or behaviour that may be preventing them from leading and achieving a satisfying lives.
