about hampshire counsellor mary shepherd

Hello.

My name is Mary Shepherd and I am a qualified, accredited counsellor working in private practice from my home in Bursledon, which is a picturesque village between Southampton and Fareham just off M27 Jct 8, and therefore easily accessible from areas in Hampshire and the M3 corridor.

My professional qualification is in person-centred counselling and I am an accredited bereavement volunteer with Cruse Bereavement Care, having trained to work with both adults and children/young people.

I am a member of the Hampshire Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and I am an accredited member of The Counselling Society and abide by their Practitioners’ Code of Ethics.

I undertake continuous professional and personal development which enables me to keep up to date with new developments and have a deeper understanding of client’s needs.

I provide a professional and confidential service to clients in a safe and non-judgemental environment, and have experience of working with issues such as grief, traumatic grief, children’s grief, low self esteem, stress, sexual abuse, OCD, personal development and relationship issues.
