About me

Charlotte Speirs, Dip Psych Couns, FdA, Reg. MBACP, BPC

I am a professional counsellor working in Cheltenham. Before working in private practice, I worked with clients at Gloucestershire Counselling Service and have experience over a number of years working with individuals with a wide range of difficulties.

The issues I can help to address include:

Anxiety
Stress
Loss
Bereavement
Depression
Panic attacks
Abuse
Trauma
Issues with identity, sexuality and gender
Boarding school issues
Difficulties with anger
Low self esteem or low self confidence
A feeling that life is empty or meaningless
Worries about taking decisions
Relationship issues
Work related problems

I have a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling (awarded by Westminster Pastoral Foundation, WPF) and a Foundation Degree in Psychodynamic Counselling (awarded by the University of the West of England, UWE). Following my professional qualification, I completed the Gloucestershire Counselling Service Associate Programme to gain an Associate Award in Psychodynamic Counselling.

I am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and Registrant of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC). I adhere to both organisations' Codes of Ethics.

I will have a vacancy towards the end of September for someone in a position to come for sessions 3 times a week, for 2 years. This would be at a reduced rate with the possibility of a bursary for those on a low income or unemployed.
