Gabrielle Lake-Mitchell - Humanistic Integrative Counsellor 

Welcome, I am Gabrielle and I am a professionally qualified Humanistic Integrative Counsellor and registered member of the BACP.

There are many reasons why people seek counselling. Perhaps you are feeling lonely or disconnected from the people around you? Perhaps you would like to talk to someone about making changes in your life? Maybe you're feeling stuck, anxious or depressed and would like a little extra support to help you through a difficult time? 

Whatever brings you to counselling, I can offer you a safe space to talk and explore all of your thoughts, feelings and behaviour. 

Starting counselling can feel daunting, but I believe that by experiencing compassion and empathy from someone who truly listens, can in itself be healing. Everyone deserves to be heard and to tell their story, and I endeavour to offer you a confidential and safe space free from judgement and opinion, where you can explore all aspects of yourself, and be heard. 

As an integrative counsellor, I use a range of approaches from Person Centred, Transactional Analysis and Gestalt therapies. I tailor my approach to your needs, as I view you as a unique person. I will not impose my opinions or offer advice, but instead, seek to understand you, from your frame of reference as you begin to share your thoughts and feelings with me. 

A counselling relationship is unique and unlike any other relationship in your life. I will be right beside you and work at your pace, with whatever you wish to bring to our sessions, and I will endeavour to meet you with honesty, openness and respect. 

Whatever your reason for seeking counselling, please do get in touch and we can have a discussion to work out whether we can work together.
