Welcome to CALM...

CALM is a Counselling and Life Management service created by Louise Todd.

I am pleased to provide a safe and confidential counselling service for anyone referred through work or their insurance company. I am happy to discuse fees if you feel that you would benefit from counselling and are self funding.
I am a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and I am bound by its ethical framework for good practice in counselling and psychotherapy, and subject to its professional conduct procedure. I maintain a high level of personal and professional ethics at all times.

How can a counsellor and counselling help?

I work from a Person Centred Core, integrating other models as is appropriate to each individual client. Person Centred Philosophy is that you, the client, knows what hurts. You are the expert on you…I endeavour to model my work with this philosophy in mind and therefore work with the issues that you, as the client, bring.

The aim is always to acknowledge your individuality and uniqueness and tailor the practice to effectively support you during your journey. Facilitating the changes you may make in order to redirect your emotional life into a more productive and fulfilling way of being.

Man looking at unfinished puzzle on floor Counselling is not just about listening; it provides the opportunity to challenge negative thinking and gives space to develop the strategies that enable change. If you feel stuck in the same cycle of emotions and behaviours and feel you can’t move forward, then perhaps counselling is for you.

Following an initial assessment we will agree upon a working contract following the ethical framework of the BACP. You will be offered six initial counselling sessions with review and flexibility for continued work.

All counselling sessions are conducted from a private address so as to maintain client discretion at all times.
