Counselling in High Wycombe

Joan Devoil — Person-Centred Counsellor based in High Wycombe

About me

I started my private practice for Counselling and Supervision in 2016. After a first career in Primary Education, I retrained and qualified in 2012 as a Person Centred Counsellor, and further qualified as a Counselling Supervisor in 2016.

 

Since qualifying as a Counsellor, I worked for 5 years in a Secondary School providing the counselling service to students from Y7 to Y13 (ages 11 to 18).

I have also been employed for 8 years by a national Cancer charity in partnership with a private health service, providing short-term Counselling to Cancer patients, who have often continued to work with me as private clients if their need is for longer term therapy.

Additionally I have extensive knowledge and training in working with clients who have experienced trauma in their lives.

Inclusivity, diversity and creativity are embedded into my approach

Since qualifying as a Supervisor, I have worked with 2 local adult and young people’s community Counselling services in Maidenhead and Bracknell as a group and individual supervisor.

These are both training placements for student counsellors, so I have acquired considerable experience in helping students develop towards robust, ethical and effective practice.

Many of my students have also continued to work with me as their personal supervisor as they have qualified and progressed into private practice or employed roles.
