Della Taylor-
Person-centred Counsellor
About Me:
My name is Della and I am a NCPS registered and accredited person centred counsellor.
I can offer counselling to adults and young people on an open ended basis.
I have a wealth of experience working with children and adolescents.
I have worked in schools for over fifteen years. This includes working in both primary and a secondary schools.
I have worked with SEND children and have many years of experience helping children with differences to navigate through the education system and through their social difficulties and academic barriers.
I have experience of working with Adverse Childhood Experiences and trauma.
I currently support children with Social, Emotional Mental Health issues in a large secondary school.
I'm an animal lover and have rescued many dogs over the years, I have a special passion for Siberian Huskies.
I recognise the need for pet bereavement Counselling due to my own experiences.
The loss of a companion animal can be devastating ,there is a profound sadness and the psychological effects can be long lasting. I can help with this too.
I'm also a qualified personal trainer and take fitness and well-being seriously.
A healthy mind and a healthy body work together for optimum wellness.
Sometimes the pressures of life can build up and take over our thoughts.
If you feel life is becoming overwhelming and you are struggling with your emotions, then I can provide a safe place for you to be heard. I will listen to you without judgement and together, we can work towards a more harmonious outcome for you.
