Mide Beaumont Counselling

About

About me
My name is Mide (pronounced Mee-da) Beaumont. I am an experienced counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I hold a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling which is accredited by the BACP.

Alongside my private practice I am a senior counsellor in a non-profit making counselling service working with men and women of all ages experiencing a wide variety of issues and concerns.

Before becoming a counsellor I worked in public and private sector corporate environments. I bring an understanding of the challenges that can arise at work and the pressures of trying to maintain a healthy balance between the demands of work and other responsibilities as part of a healthy and fulfilled life.

More details about me and what I offer can be found on my website. You might find it helpful to have a conversation with me by phone to tell me about your situation, hear more about me and my services and ask any questions. I would be very happy to speak to you and there is no charge for this.

Why Counselling?
There are times in our lives when things just don’t feel right and we may not know why. We might be struggling to work out who we are and what we want from life or feeling dissatisfied and stuck. Sometimes we find it hard to cope with life’s challenges and at other times we can be deeply affected by specific events and loss – perhaps the death of a loved one, relationship breakdown, redundancy or illness.

Life’s events and what we experience can impact us in many ways. This can affect our relationships and how we deal with challenges or lead to behaviour that we’re neither happy nor comfortable with. It can bring on a mix of painful feelings, including anger, sadness, vulnerability, guilt and shame – sometimes causing anxiety and depression. Having a counsellor to turn to can help.

About my practice
I am committed to providing my clients with the opportunity to talk about their experiences and feelings. If you decide to work with me, I will give you a safe, compassionate and confidential space to feel heard and understood.

As we work together, I will use my training, skills and experience to help you describe your thoughts and feelings. Respecting you and your experiences, I will encourage and support you to look at your personal difficulties from different angles. I will support you as you explore how your early experiences might be impacting life and relationships today. This will help you get a better understanding about your current situation.

I will work with you as you identify and implement changes that feel possible to make. I believe, and have seen in my practice, that this is the first and vital step to making long lasting positive change, helping to live a life that feels more fulfilled.

How does it work?
Deciding to start counselling can feel like a significant step. If you are interested in starting counselling we will have one or more introductory meetings, at a mutually convenient time, to talk about the issues that have brought you here. Then you can decide if you feel comfortable working with me and I can assess whether I can be helpful to you. There is no obligation to proceed beyond this point.

If we agree to proceed, I offer open-ended counselling where we would meet for 50 minute sessions on the same day and time every week. I also offer time-limited counselling (6, 8 or 12 sessions) for people who wish to focus on and explore a specific issue.

My fee for introductory meetings and each subsequent counselling session is £50.00
