Grace Symphony

About me

Hi, my name is Grace. I'm a compassionate, accepting humanistic counsellor with a passion for providing a safe, empathic space to explore difficult thoughts and feelings. I registered with the BACP
As their website says, the humanistic approach is about free will, self-discovery and achieving your full potential as a human being, rather than concentrating on individual problems or symptoms. It looks at everything that makes you who you are and focuses on you as a unique individual and your relationship with the world around you.
I have a person-centred foundation but incorporate other models like transactional analysis with useful tools to help understand how early life experiences can affect current patterns of thinking.
Gestalt therapy to help you focus on the here and now and where you may be getting stuck
My goal is to empower individuals to embark on a journey towards healing, wholeness, inner peace, and self-discovery.
I bring multicultural experience from emigrating to live and work in Africa for 20 years before returning to the UK therefore I value cultural sensitivity in therapy.

I have 40 years of experience as a pharmacist, in various settings including a focus on psychiatry, trauma, and mental health. I believe medication is important, but many people also need an affordable, quickly accessible and safe place to talk.
I look forward to getting to know you and working together to navigate your challenges.
