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 (OCNW) bereavement worker, having trained to work with both adults and children/young people.

I have been CRB checked and I hold an enhanced CRB certificate.

I am a member of the Hampshire Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and I am an accredited member of The National 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, anxiety, guilt, miscarriage, depression, low self esteem, stress, sexual abuse, OCD, personal development and relationship issues.
