Diana Charters, Therapeutic Counsellor 

I believe that Counselling offers a safe, confidential, non-judgemental and contained space for the exploration of issues, options and personal choices. I have experience with working with people of all ages, backgrounds and cultures, and have worked in a Further Education and University counselling service for the past 5 years.
I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I practice as an Integrative Relational counsellor, which draws from the Person Centred and Psychodynamic approaches.

I hold that:

  • The relationship jointly developed between me and my client is at the heart of the counselling process and important to the outcome of therapy. 
  • That all our relationships develop and are impacted by social processes, cultural and political influences, as well as our own abilities.
  • I can work with you in the “here and now” as well as things from your past, whether these are to do with: 
    • Relationships 
    • Depression 
    • Anxiety 
    • Panic attacks 
    • Bereavement and loss 
    • Life changes 
    • Impact of dyslexia 
    • Stress 
    • Low self esteem 
    • Trauma 
    • Sexual issues 
    • Abuse in all its forms

I offer short term or long term contracts and review the value and direction of our relationship regularly. Sessions last 50 minutes and are usually weekly.

I am currently available on Wednesday evenings (5-9pm) Tel: 01295 – 231320 E-mail info@banburytherapycentre.com Or you can reach me directly via email on info@dianacharters.co.uk or call my mobile no. 07788 763060. My fees are usually £35.00 per session, which may be negotiable under certain circumstances - I can discuss with you at the first session which is an assessment, free of charge. Payment is on the day, and can be made by cash or cheque. • You need to give me 24 hrs notice of cancellation, or the session maybe charged.  I will review my fees annually, in September 2011.
I also work as a volunteer counsellor for Rushden Mind, seeing clients one day a week.
