Genevieve Brown

I work with adults only on an individual basis.

I currently have availability on Wednesdays and Thursdays but I am flexible with the hours that I work, so please ask if you need a different day as I may be able to accommodate you. 

I offer concessions to counselling students.

I'm Vieve, an integrative counsellor working from The Stephenson Centre in Ipswich and online via Zoom.

Being integrative means that I take theories and techniques from many different modalities of counselling and tailor them to meet my client’s needs. 

My approach is relational which means I see the therapeutic relationship as central to the counselling process.

I have a calm and non-judgemental manner, creating a space for my clients to explore and express themselves. 

My past experience as a foster carer and family support practitioner has given me a compassionate understanding of people in crisis and the importance of consistency and reliability in building trust. These roles have also strengthened my ability to co-regulate and contain my clients' anxiety.

I use a blend of techniques in my therapeutic work including Psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis, Jungian, Somatic sensing, Mindfulness and Humanistic approaches.

 I have a particular passion for inner child work and use a variety of artistic and practical interventions to facilitate my clients in their therapy.

I meet my clients where they are and pace the sessions according to their needs. 

In our first session together, which will be a full 50-minute session, I will encourage you, my client, to tell me about yourself and what brought you to therapy. We will discuss our contract together and fill in a client registration form. 

During this session we can decide whether we are a good match for each other. Following this we can decide on a timeframe or keep things open and see how the therapy progresses. 

You are welcome to contact me via telephone or Zoom for a free 15 minute consultation in which you can ask me any questions and start to get to know me.
