Jane Hallett

I am a Senior Registered Practitioner with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. For over 20 years I have worked full time as a counsellor in both Further and Higher Educational settings.

I began my working life as a teacher (of English) and 'discovered' counselling when working on a Youth Training Scheme in the early 80's. My first counselling qualification, a Diploma, was from the University of Reading where I studied full time for a year.

I remain a member of Counselling Associates a support group several of us formed at the end of the diploma year which profoundly effected many of us. Between 1987 and 1993 I undertook extensive training with the Gestalt Psychotherapy Training Institute.

I describe myself as a Humanistic Counsellor as I embrace the values of humanism and have learnt broadly through training courses, experience and personal contact in the field of therapy.

For me the key concept in counselling is that of responsibility which I hope the extract throws light on.

I offer email counselling which involves a considerable time lapse between the sending and receiving of emails and conference room counselling in which there is only a minute or two between exchanges. I work in accordance to the BACP Code of Ethics and Practice . I am a Senior Accredited practitioner with BACP.
