Welcome to Counselling Point

Crowd imageProblems can affect anybody at any time. There is no shame in needing, or asking for help to get through a difficult patch.

As a professional counsellor I have been trained to listen to your problems sensitively and with an open mind, to understand as fully as possible what is concerning you and how it's affecting your life. Without judging you or offering advice, counsellors can become more aware of what resources you have in place for coping and discovering healthier ways of dealing with difficult feelings, people or situations.

The fact that you have come to me for counselling, as well as anything you tell your counsellor, remains confidential.

Confidentiality is important in therapy. I adhere to the BACP Code of Ethics on confidentiality and would only consider breaking that confidentiality if:

A counsellor would normally first discuss the situation with the client, encourage him/her to participate in the disclosure and support them in doing this.
 
I will not discuss what occurs in your therapy except in supervision (in accordance with the BACP Code of Ethics).

About Ron Dean - Counsellor & Life Coach

In the recent past I have worked for the University of Northampton and Leicester Counselling Centre. This has involved me in working with clients with a range of problems. These have ranged from stress, depression, loss, relationship and sexuality issues.

While employed for many years in the service industry, I held voluntary capacities of Health Information Officer and Employee Assistance Counsellor. The purpose of the former was to direct staff to an appropriate agency in respect of their current problem(s). These were likely not to be work related. The latter was to give help and guidance in regard to bullying or harassment in the workplace.

Although not strictly counselling, from 1987 to 1989, I served as a Samaritan, which requires keen listening skills and an empathic countenance.
