Welcome

Hi, my name is Hermione. I am a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor. I am the Founder of Potentilla Wellbeing Centre and deliver online counselling sessions. 

I specialise in short term therapy, working with clients experiencing low mood, stress and symptoms of anxiety.

I also have experience supporting clients with personal development, resilience skills to help cope with life challenges, building on coping strategies for emotional regulation, navigating life changes and transitions, highlighting achievements for inner strength building, rebalancing inner conflicts and moving forwards to become unstuck.

I offer warmth, unconditional positive regard and empathy in our sessions together which are led by you. I hold the belief that all human beings have a natural tendency to move towards change and growth. I provide a genuine and compassionate safe space in our unique therapeutic relationship which aids your self-reflection, encourages better self-awareness and helps you process your emotions. 

I work collaboratively with you and our session are a co-exploration around your thoughts, feelings and experiences. I work at your pace and invite you to share how you think/ feel our work together is going to ensure you’re getting the most from our sessions.
