Trish
Buckner
Person Centred Counsellor
Darley Dale, Derbyshire
My passion really is about providing a safe space for people to feel heard, believed and understood. The magic of listening and truly being fully present with a client, allows me to see the fog lift for so many clients and allows them to rediscover themselves again. By creating time each week for you and your true feelings you can learn more about yourself than ever before. This awareness is then followed by acceptance, allowing you to be free from all the self criticism or self loathing that can come from not understanding and accepting yourself.
Whilst you are the expert of you, for some it can help to know that I have either personal or professional experience with Neurodiversity, Chronic Illness, being a Parent or Carer, Domestic Abuse, Bereavement, Shame and Body image.
Finding the right therapist for you that you feel comfortable with is a crucial part of the process so if you have any questions don't hesitate in contacting me.
I am not going to sugar coat this though, counselling can be a dark difficult place for many and can feel uncomfortable at times. Let's face it, as humans we all like to escape from difficult feelings sometimes, but remember you are not alone in that darkness.
The world can often feel lonely even though your life is filled with people and often people do not feel heard or listened to. Our sessions give you a safe comfortable space to simply, be heard in a non judgemental confidential way.
Counselling is about being heard and understood or exploring parts that may have been hidden away. As a Person Centred Counsellor I will keep you the client as the focus not others in their life to help you the client gain clarity about themselves, their coping mechanisms, behaviours and emotions.
About me
Who am I, my name is Trish and I have lots of life experience to enable me to be able to empathise with many on a truly deep level. Through my own experience and those of loved ones around me I have a wealth of knowledge in neurodiversity such as Autism and ADHD as well as Dyslexia, trauma, bereavement, mental health struggles, parenthood and chronic illness. For me this makes it really tricky to narrow down one area of expertise and to be honest I do not claim to be an "expert" in anything as everyone's own experience in life is so unique. However I will be true and honest in our sessions to explore and understand what life is really like for you the client as our sessions are focused upon you. For some clients they may want to know more about me, please feel free to ask as for some knowing more helps them to see where my understanding of them lies. However therapy is all about boundaries and some information may not be appropriate for me to share and again I would address this openly and honestly in a down to earth manner.
I also like to have fun and let out my inner child sometimes and may bring humour into our sessions to lighten the session where appropriate/ needed as well as exploring somethings in a more creative way.
Get to Know Me
I set up my counselling practice to be able to provide a long term space for clients to explore themselves and their barriers in life, within a safe trusting counselling relationship. Through my volunteering and work I have experienced how crucial it is for people to have a relationship with their counsellor in which they do not feel judged, but where they feel safe and secure in being themselves and saying what is on their mind. Due to previous experiences this relationship can take a while to build due to trust issues or never having unconditional care from others. Therefore by providing unlimited sessions a client doesn't have to end the counselling relationship just when they feel ready to explore deep dark places they have always feared to explore before.
Mission
To provide a safe, secure base for people to be able to explore and reconnect with their authentic self. This is done fully on the clients terms, but at times as the counsellor I may explore elements that you have not realised about yourself.

Sessions can either be in person within my own private counselling space, where there is easy parking right outside.
Or if you would prefer we can do online video call sessions. In addition we can take our sessions out into nature and do some walk and talk therapy enjoying our natural surroundings. For many being outdoors with nature can help them to relax and feel more connected to the world around them. If this is something that interests you we can discuss during our first call.
Once you have reached out to book some sessions I will arrange a time to call for an initial 30 minute phone call, this will give you opportunity to ask any questions you may have and for me to gather some information. This phone call will be free of charge.
During this call we will arrange sessions at a time that suits you that will occur the same time each week for 50minutes at the cost of £50 which is to be paid 48 hours before each session.
Rewind Therapy
Rewind Therapy Technique is specifically aimed at PTSD, Phobias, OCD and Anxiety. We cannot erase the trauma that may have occurred but what rewind aims to do is to file the trauma away without the pain and emotions attached to the memory. This should then reduce triggers, flashbacks, panic attacks and nightmares by reducing the impact of the trauma upon you. Rewind can be carried out without disclosure so you do not need to tell me anything about the trauma that occurred during the Rewind Technique. Rewind is completed during a double session so 100 minutes with a 50 minute follow up appointment. For some the process may need to be repeated due to multiple or complex traumas and can be completed up to 6 times.

FAQ's
I have never attended counselling what should I expect?
As a counsellor I aim to create a friendly, warm environment for us to build a professional relationship in which you feel able to open up about what is going on for you or the things you feel you may like to explore during our sessions.
What is Person Centred Counselling?
It is based upon theories from Carl Rogers that every human has an innate drive within them to be the best version of themselves. This type of counselling can often be interpreted incorrectly, however so many of my clients describe their thirst to be truly heard and voice that these sessions truly allow this need to be met finally. It does not mean there is no direction, it is about you as the client deciding your own path and me as the counsellor being with you on the journey along that path.
