Welcome
A warm welcome to Waterways Therapy and the start of our journey together. My name is Verna and I am a fully insured, qualified Person-Centred Integrated Counsellor. I am very passionate about helping my clients find their smiles again, self-love, and acceptance, enabling your true authentic self to emerge.
When I work alongside you I aim to break old familiar patterns, and to find new healthier ones, freeing you from anything that’s been holding you back. Being heard by someone who will listen, in a confidential, compassionate and non- judgemental environment, which enables us both to explore any issues which may be causing you confusion or distress, at your own pace. Whether you are a child, adolescent or an adult, you can feel empowered to explore your experiences, knowing I will truly accept you just as you are.
For several years, I have been working as a school counsellor, supporting children, young people, teachers, and parents through a wide range of emotional, behavioural, and wellbeing.
Also I am currently freelancing for First Steps – Eating Disorder Charity, and have had placements at SARAC – Rape and Abuse Advice Centre, Cruse – Bereavement Charity, and Place 2 Be – Childrens Mental Health Charity. I hold a Designated Safeguarding Lead Certificate, and an Enhanced criminal record check certificate
My office is now open at Unit 2 Sawley Marina
