Swann Counselling helps people to deal with life’s challenges more effectively. Through improved self awareness, we help you to explore your issues and support your journey to personal acceptance and growth. Perhaps you find it difficult to talk to your friends and family or when you do, don't feel fully understood? Or maybe you find yourself masking your true feelings and emotions causing unease and anxiety? Our focus is to help you get in touch with and acknowledge your true self and gain relief and peace. We do this by providing a safe, confidential and supportive space where you will be heard, accepted and understood. We are based in Newcastle upon Tyne at various locations to suit you individual needs including Benton.
‘Baring your soul’ to a stranger can be daunting – it takes courageand trust, an aspect of counselling that cannot be emphasised enough is to make sure clients feel safe, at ease and accepted when they enter the counselling room for the first time (Sutton, Stewart 2008).
All of our counsellors are registered members of The British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and work according to their Ethical Framework. Under these guidelines our counsellors are subject to regular supervision, continued professional development and must hold professionally indemnity insurance and enhanced DBS clearance. This ensures that all of our clients remain our primary concern while working with them, including their safety and confidentiality.
