Amanda Lacey Counselling

Home

Welcome

Do you want to be heard, supported, and understood? Do you feel like you're at a crossroads and have no idea which way to go or what to do? Do you want to be validated that you are enough? Do you have any challenges that you want to address and work through? Or do you want to be able to talk freely and in confidence about anything which you feel unable to do with your family and friends?

At Amanda Lacey Counselling, I can ensure you that I will create a safe, non-judgemental environment where confidentiality is paramount. My goal is to provide an environment in which you feel comfortable discussing and exploring any issues you may be experiencing. Most importantly, I want you to feel accepted for being you and the 'whole' of you. Counselling can be intimidating and a little unsettling since it requires us to be vulnerable.

What I can guarantee is that I will be by your side to assist and listen throughout your counselling journey. Change is possible if we all allow ourselves to trust the counselling process. Challenges can begin to be overcome, and you can work towards regaining control of your life by determining your direction and establishing the life you want to live.

One of the most important aspects of counselling is the relationship between counsellor and client but sometimes, that choice can feel overwhelming. I want you to have full confidence before moving forward and that's why I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation so that you can learn more about me and how I work. You don't need to make any commitments and there is absolutely no pressure to book a further session unless it feels right for you.
I accept counselling referrals from any of the following:
• Self referral
• GP referral
• Students requiring personal counselling
• Company referrals

I work with a wide range of presenting issues some of these being (but not limited to):

• Anxiety • Depression • Life choices
• ‘the self’ • Sexuality • Domestic abuse • Loss, grief, and bereavement
• Family and relationship issues
• Drug and alcohol issues
• Stress • Fertility issues • Body image
• Self esteem • LGBTQIA+

About Me

Hi my name is Amanda

My core approach is humanistic, as I believe that we all deserve and can achieve our full potential, allowing us to be ourselves and strive for self-actualisation. With the idea that we embrace our individuality and that our differences are not a bad thing but rather a positive aspect of who we are.

I hold a diploma in therapeutic counselling and am a certified NCPS member, which is the foundation of my work as I adhere to the framework in my practice. In addition to providing in-person counselling, I also provide online and over the phone counselling. I am based in Langstone Newport.

Services

What i offer

Each session costs £50 and will last for approximately 50 minutes.

All counselling sessions are completely confidential however, there are some exceptions such as safeguarding purposes that may require limitations to our confidentiality agreement. This will, of course, be explained and discussed with you during your initial session.

It is recognised that at times, you may not be able to attend a pre-arranged counselling session due to extenuating circumstances. However, I do politely request that you try to give at least 24 hours' notice of non-attendance, whereever possible, or you will be required to make full payment for the missed sessions.

Based on the nature of your personal counselling journey, individual needs and what you are working through, the number of sessions you require may vary. We can work together to decide on what you wish to gain from attending counselling and whether you would require short-term or longer-term bookings for counselling sessions
