Michele Gazmuri-Symmes
I am a qualified BACP registered Counsellor, specialising in working with children and young people. I also hold a qualification in Integrative counselling (Adults) and can assist adults in understanding their difficulties and help them reframe to improve well-being.
My passion to train as a counsellor began in 2014, I wanted to make a difference. I transitioned from working in schools as an emotional well-being assistant to gaining a diploma in integrative counselling(adults). I added further qualifications and placement training specialising in child and adolescent counselling.
As a counsellor, I feel privileged to assist children, young people, and adults in overcoming the various difficulties they encounter in their lives Each individual presents a unique set of challenges, and it is both inspiring and fulfilling to guide them towards healing and self-discovery. Through active listening, empathy, and tailored therapeutic techniques, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can express their thoughts and feelings without judgment. My goal is to empower clients to develop effective coping strategies, enhance their emotional resilience, and build a better understanding of themselves.
I have worked additionally in secondary schools, sheltered accommodation and EAP programmes (Adults) I also work collaboratively with a well-known charity supporting young people.
As a counsellor, it is a great privilege and honour to support individuals, whether a child, adolescent or adult to overcome their obstacles and find clarity in their lives. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out by email, telephone or our contact us form.

Jane Smith
Hello! I'm Jane, and I've been practicing as a counsellor for almost eight years. My journey began with a focus on child and adolescent counseling, which eventually led me to earn a BA in Counseling and Psychotherapy. I work with adults, children, and teenagers, addressing a wide range of topics, including grief, loss, and relationship challenges. I am deeply passionate about my work and strive to provide a supportive and confidential environment for my clients.
My foundation is rooted in Person-Centered Therapy, but I have evolved my practice to embrace a more integrative approach. This combination has proven to be highly effective for my clients, allowing for tailored support that meets their unique needs.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch; I am here to provide you with the highest level of support possible. Your well-being is my priority, and I am committed to helping you in any way I can.
