At my practice, I offer lots of different types of counselling services – from individual sessions to group therapy. It all depends on what each client needs and what they’ll benefit from. Because a lot of my clients lead busy lives, I also offer online and telephone counselling if that suits their schedule better. Although I always suggest coming in for a face-to-face session now and then, as these are often very helpful.
To be a certified counsellor, you need to have a Level 4 qualification in counselling. This can be as a diploma, or at a degree or postgraduate level. I chose to go down the university route by undertaking a BSc Hons in Psychology & Counselling. This meant that I got a degree and was accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am now a registered counsellor with over 10 years of experience and have completed a number of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) modules.
Most of my clients have certain goals in mind when it comes to their therapy. Often they want to resolve issues which are causing difficulties in their lives. This may be problems in their personal relationships that they want help working through. It could be with their partner, family, friends, or work colleagues. Or they may want to develop coping mechanisms to help deal with their own mental health. But often these can interlink. For example, if a client is wanting help with their personal relationships, this often has a positive knock-on effect on their own mental health.

I've learned a lot about myself while working with TJ in a real and concrete way. He puts a real emphasis on creating connection and shared understanding between us, which really develops a strong rapport and makes me feel really seen and understood, which has made a huge difference in coming up with different approaches to the problems that I that I want to work through in my life and in myself. It feels like the process of working together has been really collaborative. He is really willing to be flexible in his approach and if one way doesn't work, he has like five different ways of approaching a problem that we can try; And I really appreciate that. I feel like it really empowers me as a client to take active role in the coaching process and be like, you know what, here's what works for me, can we try this? And that feels really unique and powerful to find in a coach. Highly recommend.

Working with Phil helped us fix our marriage and we haven’t been this happy together in years. He knows how to moderate the sessions in a way that we both felt heard and understood and gave us helpful insights into what we both needed to change to heal the broken parts of our love.

Nate, Executive Coaching Client Derick’s coaching had a direct and measurable impact on my career. Heading into a major professional discussion, I leaned on his guidance to refine my narrative, clarify my goals, and step into the conversation with confidence. The outcome? A well-earned title change, a raise, and significant positive shifts that set the tone for the next phase of my journey. Derick doesn't just provide insight—he equips you with a strategic edge.

How much does Counseling cost?
Your expert counselor will be able to advise you on the full range of services available and will be able to advise on what is most suitable. Use Bark to get free quotes and schedule an appointment today.
What should I expect from my Counseling session?
At your appointment, you will be encouraged to talk about your feelings and emotions with a trained counselor who will listen and support you without judging or criticising.
The therapist can help you gain a better understanding of your feelings and thought processes and find your own solutions to problems. However, they will not usually give advice or tell you what to do. The counselor might sum up what they understand you have been saying so that they can help you to form a plan of action.
Counseling can take place in a number of ways. These include:
Face to face session
Group session
Phone session
Email session
Online through live chat services or video conferencing software
You may be offered a single session of counseling, a short course of sessions over a few weeks or months or a longer course that lasts for several months or years.
It can take a number of sessions before you start to see progress but you should gradually start to feel better with the help and support of your counselor.
You can be confident that any of the Bark local counselors listed will give you a reliable and efficient service to help you feel better.
What should I look for when booking a Counseling session?
You could look for counselors that are accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA) which means that they have met the PSA’s required professional standards to practise.
Before you choose a counselor, you could read testimonials and read details of the issues they can help with on their website.
You could also look at their profile page on Bark and check out reviews from past customers too.
What issues can a Counselor help with?
Counseling can help with many issues. These include the following:
Mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety or eating disorders.
Physical health conditions such as infertility.
Difficult life events such as a bereavement, a relationship breakdown or work-related stress.
Dealing with difficult emotions such as low self-esteem or anger.

Redundancy and work issues.

Can I get a Counseling Service online?
Absolutely! Many counselors provide their services remotely via an online video call or the telephone. Not only is it more convenient, but it's also the preferable option for many people who would feel more comfortable holding the session from the comfort of their own home.
