Elle Pope

I am a qualified, experienced, and registered counsellor, with a Level 6 Diploma in Trauma Counselling, working integratively in short bursts, or long-term work tailored to meet your needs. I have worked in various environments engaging with diverse ages and backgrounds including the NHS, a community counselling hub, with teens and young adults in a large secondary school.

Are you struggling with relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, bereavement/loss, stress/anxiety, self-harm, abuse, feeling overwhelmed, or wrestling with a particular issue and need a safe space to explore the challenges you are facing? Sharing thoughts and feelings with a counsellor takes courage. I can offer a welcoming, non-judgmental safe space, whatever your background, culture, beliefs, or sexual orientation, and together we can explore, be curious and learn new skills to manage feelings. I work online and have a room to meet in Amesbury, Wiltshire.

Carol Southall

I am an experienced counsellor and supervisor, registered and accredited with BACP with over 15 years’ experience of supporting young people.

I specialise in working with young people (aged 16 and over) who are finding life difficult but who don’t feel they have anyone they can talk to.

I also work with individuals and families living with autism, helping them to make sense of their own experience of being autistic and to develop coping strategies.

My approach is flexible and collaborative; together we’ll look at what is affecting you and we’ll work out how counselling could help. I have experience of working in short-term therapy where we can focus on a specific issue and long-term therapy where we can explore your concerns in greater depth.

I have collaborated with BACP in improving autism knowledge and awareness, and I provide mentoring support for counsellors with neurodivergent conditions.

Qualifications: Diploma in Humanistic Counselling, Diploma in Counselling Online, Diploma in Counselling Supervision; post-qualifying Certificate in Counselling Young People, M Ed Autism and BSc in CBT Approaches.

Kate Macklin

I am a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor, and it is important to me that I offer a safe space for you to feel listened to, heard and accepted. A place where you can discover that you don’t need to be alone with what you are experiencing.

Sometimes being able to share your thoughts and feelings is the first step to unravelling the feeling of being ‘stuck’. Whether you feel depressed, anxious, off-balance, or not able to pinpoint how you feel but know something feels wrong, we can explore your world together.

I am BACP registered and offer short-term and long-term counselling depending on your needs. My pronouns are she/her and I offer an LGBTQ+ safe space.

I’m happy to have a free chat before we start our sessions so I can answer any questions you have and you can then decide whether we are a good fit to work together, as I feel it is important to find a therapist who you can feel comfortable with.
