My name is Michelle Carpenter. I am a fully qualified humanistic/integrative
counsellor working from my own private practice in Bournemouth and within easy
reach of Poole and Christchurch in Dorset. I am a member of the BACP (British
Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy) (MBACP) I have full professional and
indemnity insurance and an up to date CRB certificate. In addition to
Counselling I also work as a Health and Wellbeing Cognitive Behavioural Coach.
Thank you for visiting my website and I hope you have found everything you need
to know. Please do get in touch with any further questions you may have.
Choosing a counsellor or coach to work with can be tricky. Let me tell you a
little bit about me to see if I am the right person to help you. Before working
as a counsellor I spent 15 years working in Dorset for the emergency services.
Within this setting I gained a Level 3 BTEC in TRIM (Trauma Risk Incident
Management) This enabled me to assess and support work colleagues who had been
exposed to incidents involving stress and trauma. I have experience of working
with people who are vulnerable, isolated and are affected by common mental
health problems. I have worked closely with people affected by drug and alcohol
abuse and longer term issues such as homelessness and criminality.
