"Counselling is not an easy option it takes a lot of courage to make the first step" Over the past 18 years Richard has worked as a counsellor in a number of different settings, both in the public and private sector, many numbers of people from a variety of social and cultural backgrounds. "People come for counselling for many different reasons. It has been my experience that there are two driving forces: the desire to gain insight and then use that to bring about liberation from the worries and concerns confronting them" Quantum hopes to provide that opportunity to the community across the Southeast.

CREATING THE RIGHT SETTING.

At Quantum we have tried to create the right balance between a professional environment
and a welcoming and comfortable place to discuss problems and concerns.

THE COUNSELLORS

All counsellors working with Quantum are qualified to Diploma standard with at
least 4 years post graduation experience. They come from a variety of different
working backgrounds. They are BACP accredited or equivalent and all attend
personal counselling supervision.

Within the team there are a variety of skills and areas of expertise. Generally the
counsellors will follow a Person-Centred approach and work within a six-session
frame model but longer work can be entered into where there is a clear and

CRITICAL INCIDENTS/ TRAUMA

Traumatic incidents often happen quickly and unexpectedly, the affects can be devastating, continuing way beyond the actual event itself. Sometimes events link leaving individuals confused and disoriented. Quantum's approach is that, after a suitable and appropriate time, a defusion should take place to best assist to get back into balance, with both their health, family and work place.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Confidentiality is key to any counselling situation. At Quantum, all counsellors will work to the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) Code of Practice and Ethics. From the first meeting, the boundaries of confidentiality will be fully covered.

FEEDBACK

We encourage feedback on any of our services as, at Quantum, we believe that this will improve and inform our professional practices.

It is Quantum’s aim to meet the highest professional standards. Any complaints will be dealt with in accordance with BACP guidelines.
