About Counselling Wiltshire - Gilly Chapell
I am not a current member of this advertising site so am unable to reply to any enquiries received from this site... I do however advertise on my own website.
Counselling is a talking therapy which helps reduce anxiety, depression, alcohol, addiction(s) and restore emotional well being, improve low self-esteem, unravel things like anger management, rage, bereavement, phobias and post natal depression. By providing a unique perspective it can assist in evaluating and changing how life is being experienced. This can improve relationships, how we communicate with our children, family issues and help us digest affairs and betrayals, separation and divorce.
Counselling is one of those therapies which really requires the professional to hold a great deal of integrity, so that clients stand a good chance of being able to open up and share their difficulties. In order to prove our integrity to clients we do a great deal of training with other more experienced professionals and gain certificates to prove our competence and take a lot of personal counselling ourselves to ensure your sessions remain completely uncontaminated from anything other than what your bring.
I am a fully qualified Clinical Practitioner in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling. My approach combines Person-Centred and Psychodynamic theories providing clients with options of short term or open ended therapy. I can be found on the BACP’s Register of Counsellors & Psychotherapists, Certificate number 054329. This register was accredited under a Parliamentary Scheme in 2013 to protect clients and support best practice.
I work ethically and I am a trusted pair of hands for clients.
Counselling is an opportunity to unravel; thoughts which maybe tie us up in knots, decisions which could make us go round in circles and change habits which might make us cringe to the core. Counselling can also be a life sustaining therapy for the emotionally bruised.
Some clients know their limitations, spot trouble ahead or want to make changes and know they need to seek help to achieve this. Whilst at the other end of the spectrum others are right at their wits end before they get in touch. There is no right or wrong time to start counselling but I have not met a client yet who regretted booking their first initial session.
My training, work experience and any achievement
I am a fully qualified Therapeutic Counsellor both certified and registered under the BACP ( British Association for Counselling and psychotherapy), this means you can Google my name (Gilly Michelle Chapell) and verify I am both qualified and competent under the requirements of the BACP. This is important because the job of improving emotional well being is an important one and should only be undertaken by the qualified and experienced therapist.

The first session is usually 30 to 40 minutes and covers the professional aspects of counselling, i.e. what you can expect from me and there will be time for you to outline the reasons which brought you to counselling. There is no commitment required at any point.
I work most days. Emails and texts are usually responded promptly.
When you arrive for your sessions you will find there is always free safe parking available on our drive, just a dash away from the front door. Our street is very quiet and you are unlikely to meet anyone except me at the door.
Sessions are held downstairs on the ground floor however there is a small step to get into the building, but I feel sure this can be overcome with assistance if needed.
I am looking forward to hearing from you and if I don’t hear from you I wish you inspiration and courage in finding what you are looking for soon.
Other concerns & issues I deal with
I deal with most areas of concern, here are a couple of examples... currently rewriting and updating... more to follow.
Understanding Anger:
This is for those who find themselves:
feeling frustrated or,
snapping at loved ones,
flipping out,
road rage,
angry responses making work challenging,
sometimes even scaring their children,
pushing partners away,
feeling taken for granted, unappreciated, unsupported, over stretched,
and for those that loose it verbally or physically.
Adult Developmental Stages:
This is for those who find themselves:
feelings of uncertainty that render you immobile,
unable to make decisions,
unable to put your own needs first,
constantly pleasing others,
paying a price to high for saying no,
stuck in a rut,
need reassurance,
and for those who just want like to understand themselves more.
