My name is Edith Fleck, Counsellor / Psychotherapist.

I am an MBACP accredited counsellor with 22 years’ experience.

In January 2022 I was awarded an MBE for services to the community in counselling.

My background is in nursing, district nursing and nurse management, which has given me much insight into work-related issues and problems the general public face.

I see children, individuals, couples and families – this includes single parents. Some of my work is with professionals, given my lengthy professional background.

I have extensive experience in working in Schools, Health Centres and Employment Assistance Programmes.

I have undertaken extensive training in the fields of general counselling, bereavement, relationships, family therapy, couples counselling, psychotherapy, and cognitive behavioural therapy at Master’s level, approved by National Council of Psychotherapy (see below).

The purpose of undertaking extensive training is because I hold a firm belief that it is not a ‘one size fits all’ when clients enter counselling.

I work from an integrative perspective which means that I use tools from each modality to create a tailored treatment plan for each client as an individual.

I can assure clients of a warm environment with a professional approach to assist them to work through the difficulties they present with. Entering counselling can provoke anxiety. I am registered with ICO to protect client data and meet these requirements fully. This is explained clearly at the commencement and agreed as this can provoke anxiety for clients. I am very aware of the importance of creating a safe non-judgemental space to explore their difficulties and assist the client to find coping mechanisms.


What is Counselling?

ConfidentialStructuredWorking Together

Counselling is a process allowing you the opportunity to talk about your situations/problems in a non-judgemental, confidential and safe environment.
Counselling is not just a cosy chat.
It is structured, collaborative work where you and I work together to help you reach a greater understanding of your situation and to find coping mechanisms.

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, 
but rarely recognise the changes 
it has gone through to achieve that beauty...
...change is possible.
