Meet Kelly

My name is Kelly Guichard and I currently reside in Spain with my husband Geoff. We have lived here since 2004 having moved from the UK.

 

Unfortunately, there are times in our lives where stresses or concerns can become too much to bear. Or we experience a crisis, bereavement, family/relationship difficulty, trauma or deep sadness (along with many other reasons) which makes life very unsettled for us.

 

When we feel this imbalance, sometimes the right decision to make is to seek counselling support and share our concerns.

 

Reaching out and acknowledging a need for support can be a massive step for many people. But it is such and important step!

 

Counselling cannot take away the experiences you have had but, through the therapy process, you will be able to make sense of what you have experienced. The purpose is for you to be able to move forward with a sense of tranquillity and equilibrium in your life.

 

I can work with you to explore areas or situations in your life that are currently causing you concern, unhappiness or distress. My aim is to enable you to feel more empowered and to progress at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you.

 

Our time together will give you the opportunity to explore, discuss, share and process your thoughts in a totally confidential environment. I will provide you with support in a wholly safe place, allowing you to be true to yourself and express your needs without fear of judgement, expectation or prejudice.

 

As a qualified and experienced counsellor, I work within the ethical guidelines and framework of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy).

 

If you would like to make the first important step to discuss how I can help you, please feel free to get in touch through my Contact Page.

 

Take care of yourself and I hope to speak to you soon.

How I Work

How I Work

I am trained in the Person Centred Humanistic Counselling style. I also use areas of other styles but, predominantly, when we work together, you lead the sessions at a pace that is appropriate for you.

 

This allows us to work in a way that best suits your needs. Together, you will become more empowered with your exploration of thoughts and feelings to better manage your emotions and dilemmas.

 

I am an experienced counsellor working with adults of all ages on a one to one basis. I have worked with the following issues:

  • Chronic Health
  • Bereavement
  • Traumatic Bereavement
  • Change
  • Relationships
  • Stress
  • Depression

I am fully qualified and my working history has been within the voluntary sector and also working with individuals referred by their GP.

 

Before this, I had 20 years nursing experience within the health care setting in a medical capacity.

 

I am currently able to offer online and telephone counselling, giving more flexibility around the times and geographical areas I can cover. In addition, it may be possible in certain circumstances, to offer “walk and talk” therapy. I am insured to work with anyone living in Europe and the U.K.

  • Loneliness
  • Abuse
  • Trauma

Pricing & Making an Appointment

If you feel you may like to make an appointment, please feel free to contact me via the Contact Page.

 

I aim to respond within 48 hours and can then talk with you to make a mutually convenient appointment should you wish to proceed.

 

I am able to offer a 15 minute chat with you, free of charge, before hand if you think that would be helpful. You can then book one session to see if we feel that we can work together effectively.

 

All counselling sessions are on a weekly basis with an agreed appointment time.

Each session lasts for 50 minutes.

 

At the start of therapy, I recommend first planning on six sessions and then, together, we can review your progress.

 

My style of working allows me to offer ongoing support for as long as you feel it is needed. However, my goal is for you to improve and to be able to continue living independently of counselling.

 

Payment is requested on a weekly basis and this will be discussed before your first session.

 

 

 

FEES

 

Each counselling session is charged at 50 Euros or equivalent GBP

 

A block of six sessions will be 270 Euros or equivalent GBP
