Hello...

My name is Shirley Banton I am a qualified Psychotherapist who offers a gentle, reassuring service for those who are experiencing difficult emotional issues in their life. Perhaps resulting from a recent or past traumatic event such as divorce or bereavement, a long-standing battle with anxiety or low moods, or simply feeling ‘burnt out’ with it all, it’s sometimes easy to forget how vulnerable the human mind can be to the challenges of everyday life. I offer online, telephone and face to face counselling/therapy sessions.

Therapy with me...

My mission is to empower clients to live well and achieve their goals, by providing a safe, supportive, and confidential space for them to explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviours.

I use a person-centered approach that integrates other modalities to meet the unique and individual needs of each client. I offer online, telephone and face to face sessions.

Experience

I am a fully qualified Psychotherapist and studied at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

As a psychotherapist in private practice, I have over 10 years of experience in supporting clients from diverse backgrounds and with various presenting issues. I spent 3 years working with the Women's Trust supporting women who had experienced domestic violence and abuse. I also spent 20 years working within further and adult education from delivery to management and quality assurance. I now provide clinical/therapy support to university students and carry out clinical assessments, whilst also maintaining my private practice.

I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and hold a diploma in transpersonal psychotherapy from the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education (CCPE).

Areas of Expertise

I have a special interest and expertise in helping others improve their self-esteem, self-confidence and encouraging you to flourish, be yourself and be comfortable with yourself and in relationships with others.
