Chard Counselling
About
My name is Katharine Forsyth, usually known as Kate, and I live in Chard. I have been in Chard for the last 32 years. I used to work for the local council which is where I first realised that within my work I was actually counselling, allowing the people I was with at that time their time and truly listening and really hearing the problems they were facing and the feelings they were experiencing.
I know that therapy, like our lives, can be quite a journey of discovery and hopefully a successful one especially if our therapeutic relationship is based on confidentiality, trust, justice, empathy and compassion among many other things.
- Counselling is a way of making sense of our lives in a pro-active way
- I aim to help my clients to make sense of and understand their being.
- We often hold on to the suffering we have experienced and feel truly traumatised by our lives, lifestyles and our memories and counselling in a safe, secure and comfortable environment can help enormously.
- I work mainly in the client/person centred method of counselling
- I also integrate and incorporate other counselling `tools’ to the benefit of the client.
- With knowledge and extensive training in the field of counselling leading to qualifying I have also counselled people with for example acquired head injuries and issues regarding loss and grief, anger and other life experiences.
- I have an Open University honours degree in Social Sciences and a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
I am based in Chard and can offer sessions at my home or in rooms I can use that are safe and private. Alternatively I can do home visits by request.
My work is completely confidential, safe and in comfortable surroundings and I am regularly supervised. Home visits can be considered.
