Bridget Blackford-Read

I aim to build an open and emotionally safe environment where thoughts, feelings and experiences can be shared. The counselling process is about making change within ourselves and creating different outcomes. This process often feels difficult, even frightening, because familiarity is being challenged by uncertainty, and we are stepping onto new ground. I will support you throughout that process, always at your pace.

My own life/work experience includes self-employment, working with UK-based charities and volunteers as a caseworker and manager, to support victims of crime. I am an affiliate counsellor with a charity providing trauma-based therapy to anyone affected by any crime, I welcome your enquiries as one of the building blocks to developing trust in me as a counsellor and in the counselling process.
