Thank you for visiting my site. I hope you find what you are looking for here. 

 

Do you feel overwhelmed?

Is every day a struggle?

Are you wearing an "I'm fine" mask?

Maybe now is the time to do something positive for you. How about giving talking therapy a go!



Hello. My name is Chris Feather and I am a BACP accredited Counsellor and qualified Supervisor. My face to face counselling practice is based in Leicester close to the city centre or at my home on the Northants/Leics border, but I also work remotely via Zoom or phone.

I began my counselling journey in 2004 and I have been working as a counsellor in Leicester, Market Harborough and surrounding areas ever since . I initially trained as a Person-Centred Counsellor at South Leicestershire College, Wigston but since then I have studied Cognitive Behavioral Practice which allows me to use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques in my work if needed.
In 2015 I gained a Certificate in Counselling & Psychotherapy Supervision and I am now happy to offer supervision to qualified counsellors.

My aim is to provide counselling for the people of Leicester, South Leicestershire and North Northamtonshire in a safe, confidential and non-judgmental way. I undertake therapy with individuals on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of helping them to have a clearer understanding of their life, their issues and to find a way forward.

In my role as a therapist I have helped clients who have experienced many types of difficulties some of which are listed below:
• Stress
• Divorce/Separation
• Childhood abuse
• Physical illness
• Bereavement
• Work related issues
• Depression
• Low self esteem

As well as the above issues I have three special areas of interest:

The first is working with people who suffer with anxiety and panic attacks. It is an often hidden problem which can be extremely life limiting. I use a combination of CBT, Psycho-Education and traditional talking therapy to help people get control of their anxiety and/or panic attacks and to explore their cause.

Another area close to my heart is the NHS. With a clinical NHS background as well as a recent counselling role within Occupational Heath in a local NHS Trust I have an almost unique insight into the stresses NHS staff face and a strong desire to help them cope with those stresses.

Last but not least having worked at the local universities for a long time, I love working with students. I get the unique pressures that life at university can bring whilst coping with everything else along the way.

My counselling/therapy room is in central Leicester but also within easy reach of Market Harborough, Kibworth, Oadby and Wigston.
It is easily accessible both by public transport and by car. There is car parking on site and also on Victoria Park Road.

I offer face to face appointments in Leicester on a Wednesday afternoon/early evening
or
at my home room Mon-Thursday. I also offer telephone and video counselling or supervision at a mutually convenient time


I am currently an approved counsellor for the following private health insurers so if you have insurance with any of these companies your policy may cover your counselling. It is always best to check with your own insurer first .
