Hi, my name is Hermione. I am the Founder of Potentilla Wellbeing Centre and deliver face to face and online sessions here. I am a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor.

I offer warmth, unconditional positive regard and empathy in our sessions together which are led by you. I hold the belief that all human beings have a natural tendency to move towards change and growth. I provide a genuine and compassionate safe space in our unique therapeutic relationship which aids your self-reflection, encourages better self-awareness and helps you process your emotions.

My integrative style means I can draw on techniques from:

• Person-centred Approach
• Gestalt Therapy
• Psychodynamic Therapy
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

In this way I can help support you as we explore your presenting problems or difficulties. Person-centred Approach is at the core of my model of working and is my way of being and relating with clients.

I have a passion for supporting people on their own journey of development and I have experience in offering psychological therapy at a Community Interest Company for holistic therapeutic services, a university health and wellbeing centre and a health service. 

In sessions we can talk about any issues you may be experiencing and can include things such as your relationships, your childhood, how you are feeling, your thoughts, past life events or things you find difficult. People also find therapy helpful for personal growth and development.

Our first session together will be an initial consultation. This session is for me to understand what you hope to get from therapy, helps you decide whether I am the right therapist for you and helps us plan and agree goals together for the therapeutic work.

In this session, I will ask you what has brought you to therapy, discuss the issues you want to explore and what you need from therapy. I may ask you about your background to ensure the services I offer are right for you.
