My name is Mieke Haveman and I am from the Netherlands.

I once attended teacher training college to become a teacher of both Dutch and English which I did not finish, but it did wonders for my English. I have also traveled widely in Britain and have many good friends there. After that I worked in bookshops for several years, indulging my addiction to books. But as I more and more became the one colleague’s turned to with work and personal problems I started to think about going into counselling.

I did my counselling training in the Netherlands and my diploma is for counselling, coaching and psychosocial work from Academie Gradatim. I am a member of the dutch counselling association NAC. And I have gone through both the general and the diploma course as a student myself so I know what it is like. Right now I work online as a counsellor & coach. My specialities include people with chronic pain issues and highly sensitive people. I work mostly humanistically and try to tailor the counselling to the needs of the client as much as is possible.

Socially I love to read and play boardgames with friends. Cultural holidays are another of my passions and spending time with my [part-time] dog. Nina actually belongs to friends but she thinks she has two homes. I also really enjoy spending time on the computer and figuring it out for work and leisure. My personal website is www.safehavencoaching.eu.

I have been a counsellor for some 14 years. Most of that time I worked as a counsellor and supervisor in the NHS, but after a move north in 2010 to live in a quiet corner of the Hebrides, I became hooked on counselling online!

I was part of a great team in the NHS and loved to work with trainee counsellors so I am very pleased to be once again involved in training. My counselling model is integrative, drawing on person-centred, cognitive and psychodynamic approaches, but always trying to fit my way of working with the client.

I now have a mixed practice, face-to-face and online. I am also now offering supervision online.

Outside of counselling, I have interests in recycling and textiles (knitting and spinning) and am a voluntary board member in a social firm that provides training and work for people recovering from mental health problems in the Highlands.

My name is Maureen Moore. I have been working as a counsellor for 15 years and am an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I also have a master’s degree in Counselling and Cognitive Therapy as well as a Diploma in on-line counselling. Further training includes many years experience working as a Cruse Bereavement Care counsellor.

I work with a broad range of life issues including relationship breakdown, bereavement, pet bereavement, survivors of childhood abuse, depression and anxiety, as well as self confidence and self esteem concerns and life events that are proving difficult to cope with. My basic way of working is to accept the individual and to work with them to help them find solutions or resolve situations in a way that is meaningful and useful to them. Whilst I am person centred in my work I do draw on a wide range of approaches and use cognitive techniques as seems appropriate to the individual and their needs. I have a broad understanding of Christianity but am fully accepting of people of all faiths or none.I can offer counselling and support via instant messaging, audio and/or video counselling.

She is a qualified social worker, lecturer, hypnotherapist, online counsellor and clinical supervisor. Her experience as a social worker was mainly in mental health, adoption and juvenile court work. She continued her interest in working with families as a lecturer in psychology for social workers and nursery nurses when she was also responsible for student placements and supervision. Her counselling model is integrative in that a cognitive, psychodynamic or person-centred approach may be used interactively as appropriate for the client's situation. She helps clients use the stuff of their dreams as a means of understanding the world of their unconscious.

Presently she works as a couple counselling supervisor both online and peripatetically from www.supervisor55.pbwiki.com

As your campus counsellor I am here to offer you some counselling if that need or wish arises whilst you are on your course. This might be one or two sessions or up to a maximum of five sessions. I work integratively and we would tailor our work to suit you. I remember as a student doing the online training how useful I found it to spend a little time as a client on the other side of the coin as it were.

I am an accredited counsellor and have been working online since 2004. From 1992 to 2008 I worked as a counsellor in an F.E. college. I am currently in private practice as a counsellor and supervisor.

It was the remoteness of Cumbria that drew my husband and me to the county many years ago and it is the remoteness of Cumbria that actually persuaded me to train as an online counsellor in 2004. As a Secondary school teacher I was accustomed to travelling quite long distances for meetings and even further distances for training courses but I reached the stage where I decided that I no longer wanted to do this. By the late 1980’s I had trained as a relationship counsellor with Relate (Marriage Guidance) and was working as a volunteer. I had been searching for some voluntary work and this service seemed to blend in very nicely with the work I was doing running the school’s Life Skills department. I felt then as I still do that by reaching out to parents experiencing relationship difficulties I indirectly benefit their children and this is really important to me.

When I left teaching in 1997 I became a self-employed relationship counsellor. I undertook some solution focussed brief therapy training which I combined with my relationship counselling training and used the two models to inform my work with clients. I have since gained a diploma in Life Coaching and have been able to integrate that into my work too.

I remain very enthusiastic about working online and I hope as you become more used to the medium that you will enjoy it too.

I practice face to face counselling in Central Scotland. I am lucky enough to work to capacity by holding contracts with our local college for 2 campuses, with Relationships Scotland in delivering a domestic abuse project and with enough clients at home to keep the wolf from the door!

I work integratively with a psychodynamic baseline.

Present company excepted, online counselling is new to my peers. I see online counselling growing in reputation and to be part of what is still a small team is thrilling. The internet has been part of my home life for about 11 years and counselling for 6 years so it feels my knowledge has grown in parallel to my counselling.

I do a lot of work within the Violence Against Women Framework. I help the client come to terms with their emotional issues and realise their ability to take control of their lives enabling then to feel stronger and regain the control that was taken from them.

As Patron of DARF, an organisation working to uphold the dignity & rights of African women; children & young people in Scotland & Africa; and eliminate harmful customs like Female Genital Mutilation and child marriage I assist with awareness and trainings on FGM and related matters.

I manage to knit, make cards, tend my garden and have weekends in my caravan for fun. Admittedly only my caravan has been on the horizon in the recent past with all my intensive training going on and that’s with the support of my wonderful family (and a really good cleaner!).

I originally started my working life as a nurse (anaesthetics) and then as a midwife in the 80s and early 90s. After my son went to school, and was diagnosed with autism, I took the opportunity to leave and go to university to study psychology. My intention was to be an educational psychologist so I followed that degree with another in education and science and a PGCE. I then taught for 9 years. I never did do educational psychology - I discovered counselling instead.

While doing my foundation degree in counselling I worked for Mind and trained and worked with the place2be – counselling children in schools. In 2009 I set up my own private practice working with a mainly person-centred, but integrated, counselling model also involving creative work and play therapy. I found many of my referrals and queries came from people, adults and children, with autistic spectrum disorders and ADHD – which has become my specialist area since I now also have 21 years of experience of living with my son, Sam.

I became interested in counselling online as a means of working in this area especially. However, when we left my home in the north east and moved south for my husband Glen to work I knew no one and had little work, so I had to start again. I began the certificate out of interest and quickly became hooked on this as a means of reaching people who may otherwise not manage to have counselling help. I am particularly interested in using Narrative Therapy and the possibilities of creative work online.

Personally, I am mad cat lady, although I only have 1 little black fur ball called Rowan just now. I am a compulsive book buyer and reader. I love being in my garden with the trees around me and also the peace on our canal boat.
