About Me

About me:
I am an experienced Systemic Family Psychotherapist offering short and longer term therapy to individuals, couples and families from different racial and cultural backgrounds for a wide range of difficulties. I also offer therapy and support to students undertaking Therapy training and supervision.

I am able to offer face to face therapy to individuals, couples and families in a private consulting room located in SG8 8PU or online therapy to anyone living within the UK.

My approach:
I believe in a collaborative and strengths based approach to therapy. Most people experience difficulties at some point in their lives, for example relationship difficulties, bereavement, feelings of low self-esteem, anxiety. Systemic Psychotherapy can be effective in supporting people to make changes that enable you to feel differently.

I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space in which individuals, couples and families can be supported to explore relationship challenges, make changes and learn alternative ways of relating to others.

Experience and Professional Qualifications:
I have over 20 years of experience of working with children, young people, adults, couples and families in a wide variety of NHS and mental health settings and Children's Social Care.

BSC (Hons). Mental Health Nursing. Kings College London University.
English National Board for Nursing, Midwifery and Health Visiting (ENB). Mental Health Nursing.
MA Family, Couple and Systemic Psychotherapy. Tavistock, London.

Location:
I am located in a village called Heydon, a short distance by car from Royston, Saffron Walden, Duxford, Cambridge and surrounding villages. Parking is available outside the property.

On-line appointments can be offered to anyone in the UK.

Making an appointment:
Talking to a therapist can help people to put things into perspective, feel better and lead to changes for your preferred future. I would be happy to discuss any questions you may have about suitability, availability and cost.

If you would like to ask any further questions or make an appointment then please contact me by email on rebeccaballardtherapy@gmail.com and I would be happy to email and/or phone you to discuss your requirements.
